Using the Bolt with analog video signals from a film camera or other video equipment

The digital SDI input on the Bolt does not directly accept analog video input from sources such as film cameras (ARRI Arriflex 416, Arriflex 435) or other Composite (480i59.94 / NTSC or 576i50 / PAL) or Component (480i59.94 / 576i50 / 720p / 1080i / 1080p) video cameras or video / vision mixers such as older model TriCaster units.

Likewise, the digital SDI output of the Bolt does not generate analog video signals to work with analog monitors or video mixers.

For analog video input, a video format converter must be used to convert from analog to SDI input. One example is the AJA V2Digital ( https://www.aja.com/products/mini-converters/v2digital ).

For analog video output, a video format converter must be used to convert from SDI to analog vidoe output. One example is the AJA V2Analog ( https://www.aja.com/products/mini-converters/v2analog ).

These converters are simply provided for reference and are not a recommendation of any specific manufacturer or model.
