Miranda HD-Bridge DecXC: a comprehensive HDV-to-HD-SDI box with an easy workflow.(ROI reviews)
Designed specifically for HDV editors in a studio environment, the Miranda HD-Bridge DecXC ingests m2t (MPEG-2 transport stream) files from a camera, deck, computer or DVHS device and outputting 4:2:2 uncompressed media, thus preventing your HDV images from being compressed in the RGB color space. The HD-Bridge also offers 422 machine control, making it a perfect add-on for some of Sony's new HDV decks such as the HVR-M15U and HVR-M25U or the JVC BR-HD50.

Featuring proprietary cross-conversion software that's built right into the system, the HD-Bridge converts clips to 4:2:2 output footage that most broadcasters and post houses prefer to work with for better compositing and color correction.
Additionally, the HD-Bridge is designed for converting 4:2:2 to m2t format so that the media may be printed back to HDV tape if necessary, saving render time in a software-only environment. The HD-Bridge is entirely real time.
Great HD-SDI Options
What makes this product unique? Upon ingest of an HDV stream, the Miranda box will convert the signal so you can view it externally during capture, via either SDI (Serial Digital Interface) or component output. Time code is passed for frame-accurate deck control. The SDI outputs give you either a "clean" stream (no time code or graticule tags), or a stream with OSD (On-Screen Display) showing safe areas. This means you can have an onscreen monitor with embedded time code and markers, while you print to tape with embedded AES audio and no window burn or markers. The only thing missing here is an output for DVI, which would make this perfect for field use as well.
Pixel aspect ratio (PAR) and screen aspect ratio (SAR) are both auto-sensed by the device, yet you can also specify output SAR. YpBpR or RGB are user-selectable for output. The Miranda box will convert the audio stream to PCM, output both in analog, as well as AES-EBU format, for digital monitoring or pass-through.
