Hi Derek, That sound like a nice solution... It drives me crazy that with the Sony HD-1 you need to flip a dip switch on the camera to switch between a live SDI out and a composite out. This basically means you can't multipurpose the camera between HD and SD video. I need a ladder and a screw driver to make the switch between the two 8-)
The Vaddio sounds promising. I talked to Sony at InfoComm about the HD-1 and it didn't sound like this was going to change any time soon, so another option is good to know about. Unfortunately I walked through the Vaddio booth but didn't talk to them about their camera specifically.
