Hi
Having read a little about SDI (a little) I have the following question. Assuming I acquire a VP such as the Vantage, is there any merit in considering "amending" the DaVid, if it can be done at all, to include an SDI video output. Alternatively would there be much to be gained from using another SDI-enabled transport (such as those that have been modified by plugged:in.tv) for DVD playback. The video outputs currently on my DaVid are all analog: composite, s-vid and component. (Can you believe that despite owning a 10m Synergistic Research top quality component cable I've never used component out because there is a problem with the component board in my display - I always thought it was a problem with the DaVid.) Of course I could go component into the video processor but is there any advantage in SDI. My audio is digital out of the DaVid and processed by my Casablanca. I also currently use the Casablanca to switch video sources although this function would be taken over by the vp.
Lastly, how does HD-SDI fit into the HDMI-HDCP equation? Is it redundant or are we likely to see HD-SDI-fitted transports?
Cheers
Steve
