[Tig] Sony HDSDI interface

[Ian Richardson]

Hi Geoff
these are the same HD SDI modules that are used in The Dav 2K inputs
yup they do fail...... and yup Dav charges the earth for them.

I  did not get any joy in trying to get  a replacement from 'Sony' ....I thought it might be cheaper 
to 'go direct'.
Mmmmm
If you want it 'repaired'  ha ha.

Ahh...... for the old days when honesty reigned and you could effect a reasonable repair by not 
changing 'modules'
but purchasing replacement 'chips'

It makes me want to go back to Film

Cheers
Richo
