Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Immersive SDI output card

The reason to use SDI is to avoid any onboard deinterlacing and scaling on the VE card. For use on a large high resolution display I wouldn't want to use Faroudja DCDi, better deinterlacers exist from KDS, S&W, Terranex etc.

If you want to mod an 800 series for SDI, then the answer is to purchase one of the older VE cards, the VE00, and find the datasheet for the video encoder chip on that, chances are it uses the same input as an SDI transceiver and SDI output is a fairly simple soldering job.
