It encodes SDI, AES/EBU digital Audio to the DV format and sends the DV stream on the IEEE-1394 interface and it decodes the DV stream arriving on the IEEE-1394 interface and converts it to SDI and AES/EBU Digital Audio output. Features Video/Audio output of component YUV, Y/C, composite video and unbalanced stereo audio for monitoring.
