Review on πŸ“· U-TAP SDI: Plug-and-Play USB 3.0 Powered Simple SDI Capture Device by AJA by Ben Chase

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't support 1080i as described

The description says YouTube supports 1080i. I even called AJA Technical Support and asked "Does YouTube support 1080i60 or 1080i59.94?" and the answer I got was "Should". I'm working with an existing system that outputs 1080i59.94. Utap was able to swallow the video, but the motion was extremely jerky and the device locked up every few minutes. I also noticed that it gets quite hot after just an hour of use. The Blackmagic Intensity Pro was almost half the price and far superior to this unit for my needs.

Pros
  • Bus Powered by USB 3.0
Cons
  • Expensive
