Re: DA88 Audio capture with Blackmagic HD Extreme

[Luke Maslen] "I'm not sure how many channels of audio the IF-88E module supports with the DA88 but I'm guessing it outputs all the channels"

We use the IF-AE8 (similar to the IF-88AE) and it takes the TDIF (8 ch digital audio) and converts bi-directional to AES so to confirm Luke's assertion, it will handle all 8 channels at once.

Also with the DA88 you have a RS422 deck control which a Decklink/multibridge can control.

But if you are going to buy a deck try and find the Sony version of the DA88 as it has built in 8 channel AES which will also connect to the mini converter. Otherwise its a DA88 + IF-AE8 + TDIF cable (reverse 25 way DB25 ribbon)

What would I do without the 'UNDO' button!!!!
