| The All-in-one Converter |
 |
Finally there is a simple solution for converting analog equipment to SDI-based digital systems because Multibridge will simultaneously convert from digital to analog, and analog to digital. That's true bidirectional analog video and audio conversion. Multibridge works as an independent converter. Rack mount it so you can convert analog equipment such as Betacam SP decks or HDV cameras. |

| Capture and Playback |
 |
Connect the built-in
PCI Express 10 Gbps connection to any supported Windows XP or
Mac OS X based computer and Multibridge instantly turns into
the ultimate break out box capture and playback solution. At
an amazingly high speed of 10 Gbps, PCI Express is 25 times
faster than Fire Wire. PCI Express has the speed to handle high
video data rate capture and playback, from 10 bit uncompressed
standard definition and high definition video, right up to 12
bit RGB 4:4:4 feature film quality and beyond. |
| PCI Express
is low cost because it’s already built into many PC motherboards,
and a high quality PCI Express connection cable and computer adapter is
included free so you get a complete solution, ready to go. By using the
optional PCI Express Bridge, you can also plug into PCI-X slots, as found
on Apple Macintosh G5 systems for the ultimate in compatibility. |

| HD
Resolution Monitoring |
 |
If you're using Multibridge Extreme or Multibridge Studio for rack-mounted
conversion or connected to a computer as an editing system, you'll love
the full resolution HD monitoring that's included via the built-in DVI-D
dual link connection. Connect any inexpensive DVI-D based computer monitor
for a great in-rack monitoring solution, or to handle monitoring as part
of your edit suite. Unlike CRT displays, LCD monitoring is full HD resolution
at much lower cost, and because it’s a fully digital display, you
get unprecedented clarity, even with an inexpensive computer LCD display. Multibridge uses the new dual link DVI-D standard which, |
| combined with
extra processing power, lets you connect larger displays than any other
DVI monitoring solution. |
