I recently picked up a Decklink HD card to hook an HD preview monitor up to my FCP edit suite. To keep audio in sync with the video, I need to output the audio via the Decklink's SPDIF coax connector.
Only one problem... my audio mixer can't take an SPDIF digital signal! I need to find the cheapest way possible to convert the SPDIF digital coax to an analog signal - my mixer takes 1/4", XLR, or RCA inputs.
So far, the cheapest way I can find is to buy an inexpensive home theater system with an SPDIF coax input and RCA outputs. Going that route, I could use the home theater system as a converter... but it would still set me back $100-$125.
Anyone know of a cheaper solution? I would think there must be some sort of converter out there.... but maybe not.
In any case, any help I can get is appreciated! As always, thanks in advance!
