Blackmagic Up Down Cross Converter
The Mini Converter UpDownCross from Blackmagic Design converts between SD and HD video formats and functions as a 4-field standards converter. It allows you to cross-convert 720p to 1080i, enabling editing and mastering in SD, 720p, and 1080i video. It uses the 10-bit SDI video quality with multi-tap image filtering and processing. The mini converter includes auto SD/HD switching, which allows the converter to instantly switch between SD and HD video formats automatically when the video input changes. Compatible with 3G-SDI technology, the converter includes a built-in USB connection for future updates and video format compatibility. The converter's low SDI jitter allows you to use long SDI cable lengths in conjunction with internal power supplies; this enables ultra low-noise broadcast-quality analog video and audio over long distances. It supports multi-channel audio with automatic delay for matching any video processing delay. The Mini Converter's settings are controlled using the built-in DIP switches or via USB using the control software for Max OS X or Windows computers, which can be downloaded on Blackmagic Design's website. The USB port also enables the firmware to be updated. For powering the device, a 12V power supply is included with international socket adapters. Key Features Full up, down, and cross conversion between HD and SD video formats Single SD/HD/3G-SDI input Five SD/HD/3G-SDI outputs, one loop-through output Automatically detects SD, HD, or 3G‐SDI signals Converts 720p to 1080i or 1080i to 720p Auto SD/HD switching for instantly switching between SD and HD video formats Full 10-bit processing with high-quality video filtering Supports multi-channel audio Built-in USB connection for upgrades and future video compatibility Built with high-quality standards and low SDI jitter to get longest SDI cable lengths Universal power supply included with international socket adapters and cable tie point Control via built-in mini switches or software

Sony 24in HD-SDI Monitor
Items Included: Stand 25ft HDSDI Cable The LMD-2450W is an elegant 24-inch widescreen LCD monitor designed for demanding broadcast and professional applications. LCD displays are increasingly replacing CRT monitors in the professional arena due to their increased operational flexibility and lower overall ownership cost. Redefining high performance in the mid-market sector, the new model incorporates a full HD resolution 1920x1200 WUXGA LCD panel, displaying high brightness and contrast images together with a superior viewing angle of 178 degrees. The LMD-2450W offers highly accurate and consistent colour reproduction through its unique Sony ChromaTRU technology. This allows assured picture quality decisions as well as facilitating close colour matching for tiling applications. Responding to user preferences, the previously separate signal processing unit has been integrated into the monitor body whilst retaining the previous generation's convenience of light weight, minimal depth and outstanding installation flexibility. A stand is now supplied as part of the package. New full digital 10-bit processing adds to the already impressive array of specifications, delivering smooth greyscale and colour transitions. Further enhancements include a DVI-D input, two HD-Sdi inputs, enabling a third-party manufacturer's multi-image processor to be connected, an LCD backlight control and an Ethernet remote control function ideal for monitor walls. It also sports a new on-screen audio level meter and video waveform display plus a picture-in-picture mode for greater user flexibility. Entirely at home in broadcast, OB, production, post-production and corporate environments, the LMD-2450W accepts a wide variety of PC and analogue video formats and optional decoder boards are available for standard and high definition digital video display. Suitable for a wide range of applications Ideal for: - BROADCAST (studio, office viewing, control room etc.) - PRODUCTION (OB, monitor wall - VTR control, audio monitoring etc.) - POST-PRODUCTION (mid-range multi-format editing consoles) - CORPORATE (high-end multi-format use) - GRAPHIC DESIGN

OWNER NOTES
Featuring a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6 image processor, the 80D is capable of producing high-resolution imagery with notable clarity and minimal noise, as well as a native sensitivity range of ISO 100-16000 that can be further expanded to ISO 25600 to support working in low-light situations. The sensor and processor combination also avails fast performance throughout the camera system, including the ability to shoot continuously at up to 7 fps or record Full HD 1080p video at 60 fps in MP4 format.
Benefitting stills shooting with the optical viewfinder, a wide-area 45-point all cross-type phase-detection autofocus system provides quick and precise focusing in difficult lighting conditions down to -3 EV. For working with telephoto lenses fitted with extenders, 27 of the points are capable of focusing down to f/8 and the center dual cross-type offers increased precision at brighter aperture values. The cross-type design of the sensors affords greater accuracy in low-contrast and mixed lighting conditions, and the broad coverage of the 45 sensors is ideal for tracking and maintaining focus on moving subjects. Making use of the 45-points is a series of four AF area selection modes, including single-point AF; Zone AF, where you can select from one of nine AF zones; Large Zone AF, which offers a choice of three selectable zones; and 45-point AF auto selection, which allows the camera to select a single point automatically.
When recording video or shooting in live view, a Dual Pixel CMOS AF system is employed that offers smooth and fast focusing performance in a similar manner to how a camcorder acquires focus. This system integrates two separate photodiodes within each pixel to provide a broad and dense network of phase-detection gathering elements across a majority of the image sensor to reduce focus hunting for faster, more direct control of focus placement.
