    SDI to analog converter for MojoDX

    I'm looking for a SDI to analog and analog to SDI converter for MojoDX.

    For me, at this moment it can be usefull for sending:

    -  SD/SDI video signal  via converter  to analog / Y/C for instance /

    - HD/SDI  video  signal downconverted to SD  and output  via converter  to analog / Y/C for instance /

    Audio is send directly from MojoDX / via TRS connectors /or via converter.

    I'm thinking about Broadcast Converter from the Blackmagic Design. At the Blackmagic www I have heard: "it is the best converter...", but I prefer users opinions :-)

    Anyone using Blackmagic? Any problems? Maybe another solution...

    Thank's in advance.

    Do you prefer AJA over Blackmagic ?

    I've never used anything from Blackmagic to date.  Although I've never heard anything negative about them.  AJA gear has served me well though when I've needed it so far.

    Yes, the BMD Broadcast converter would prob do it for you, thought about getting one for my MojoDX, but kept the old analog mojo anyway. Had a BMD Multibridge pro, worked great, except I had to use Premiere, so now I have the DX. Better using Avid..BMD tech support is very good btw,, then so is AJA's . I'm not sure if  AJA's FS1 I  can do what you need too, not sure about simultaneous conversion,  but I'd check with both MFRs before making a purchase.
