The HD10C2, AJA's second generation HD D/A converter, brings exciting new features. In addition to being a high-quality 10-bit HD converter, the HD10C2 is dual-rate and works with both HD-SDI and SDI inputs. For HD-SDI inputs, the HD10C2 outputs full bandwidth HD component or VGA-style RGBHV video. For SDI inputs, component or composite SD outputs are supported. When connected to a multi-format monitor like the Sony 20L5, the HD10C2 will automatically provide an image from almost any HD or SD input format. The HD10C2 also features 2 equalized HD-SDI outputs.

I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to CALL me after you were unable to reach me via e-mail yesterday. I am glad that you contacted me when you discovered that the mouse that I ordered was no longer available in the color that I wanted and am very impressed with the personal approach that you and PowerMax have taken even though PowerMax is an online vendor. Even though I was not able to purchase from PowerMax on this occasion, I will certainly buy from you in the future. It's nice to see that there are still people out there that care about their customers.
