Miranda unveils camera-mounted DV-to-SDI interface

Miranda Technologies has announced the launch of the new DV-Bridge Cam, a lightweight and high-quality DV-to-SDI converter for low-cost newsgathering with DV cameras.
This compact interface can be mounted securely under a handheld DV camera, or sandwiched between a tripod and a camera, and enables operators to use DV cameras as if they were SDI cameras.
“This new interface offers close and easy integration with DV cameras. The end result is a low-cost equivalent to an SDI camera,” said Gilbert Besnard, Director of Video Product Development at Miranda. “SDI newsgathering has suddenly become a lot more cost-effective. The DV-Bridge Cam can also streamline production workflow and provide broadcasters with an elegant and affordable way to take better advantage of DV.”
Miranda’s DV-Bridge Cam can be powered by the camera battery, and it outputs SDI with embedded audio and time code to enable the effective integration of DV cameras in an SDI facility. The interface is also ideal for creating very affordable auxiliary SDI cameras for mobile trucks.
