Decimator by Redbyte

[D Namir]

Has anyone in the PAL side of the world can give me his experience with the 3G/HD to SD Down-conversion by Redbyte for the Red camera.
Thanks.

OK, has anyone in the non-PAL region has experienced working with Redbyte decimator for steadycam work with the R1?

I am waiting for mine. Should be here soon.

I have bought 2 for our cameras, they work very well, i think. What is good that the selected output, pal or ntsc, stays the same, whatever the input, something that is not so with the AJA.
Very small, for steadicam you can mount it between the 2 top-bars on top of the RED and power it with the D-tap connector from the battery plate.

Somewhere is a picture of it on this forum, on a steadicam

I'm outside my field of knowledge but they look like they pull more power than they might?

Anyone can correct me on this?

We received it last week, tested and then used once on a commercial.
Works fine, half price and half size of the AJA.
We need to use it more but for now it looks perfect.
It comes only with a external power source (12v) but it's +5V to+20V DC 4 Watts
so I think it could works both with aux 4 pin lemo or Dtap, is it correct?

I have one, but I'm sending it back to be replaced as I think there might be a dry connection. It worked on the retailers monitor, but not any of my TVs with the same cables and settings etc A bit baffling..
