    Options to feed new Panasonic LCD monitor

    Installed a new Panasonic 17" LCD recently.  I am currently feeding it component from my Mojo which works fine. However, I am looking for options to take advantages of its digital capabilities but do not know how or what to send it.  I don't believe I have a digital output available.  Is there any sense to somehow convert the analog component video to digital?

    thanks

    Kevin:

    IMO, that would be wasted time, since the analog signal will look no better converted to digital than it does right now as analog. If you don't have a digital output available, stay with component analog.

    That's kinda what I suspected.  Are my options then MoJo SDI or DX?  Is there a non-avid branded solution?

    I have the LH-2550 connected to NitrisDX via HDMI. Works great! I used it with the MojoDX via SDI and it did a great job of auto-sensing different frame sizes too. If you have an analob Mojo, I would not buy an A/D just to make SDI to feed the monitor, unless you have long cable lengths to deal with. The Mojo SDI offers some nice features but I doubt I would buy one just to get digital to your monitor, I doubt you would see a difference.
