OK - but that's a $2000 bit of kit and DV still isn't anything like DVI
(which again is nothing like SDI) ... however all are "digital"
video
formats but all are different.

...I know nothing other than DV camcorders (PC's, and a couple of DVD
recorders) that have DV inputs and given that DV to DVD requires a further
(lossy) transcoding pass then the only reviews that I've seen of the DV
equipped DVD recorders have said that going DV in to the DVD recorder is
rather iffy.

The only *SDI* equipped piece of "consumer" display kit that I
have come
across is the Visionary plasma panel at about £9k ...
