the osprey-500 pro and osprey-500 dv pro have a bnc connector for sdi (smpte-259m) video. a high quality sdi-qualified cable should be used when utilizing this connection, especially when the cable length is long. while sdi carries both digital video and embedded digital audio, the current version of the osprey-500 requires the digital audio to be brought in separately through the aes/ebu digital audio input. a follow-on version of the osprey-500 will support embedded sdi audio.
