Questions about this item
Will the Spitfire Pro's HDMI 1.3a input accept 1080p60 from my older camera?
Yes, the converter accepts HDMI 1.3a signals up to 1080p60, 1080i and 720p, so your camera's output will be converted without delay.
How do I confirm the SDI output is stable after connecting the AV-SF-HS101A?
Check the power and video LED indicators on the metal case; a lit video LED means a valid 3G-SDI signal with ultra-low jitter is present.
Does the box include the power supply and SDI cable for the AV-SF-HS101A?
The converter itself ships in an industrial-grade metal case; a compatible power adapter and SDI cable must be sourced separately.
