A great review. Thanks for the objective viewpoint! There are a number of this type of products on the market, and we use them in designs where clients are converting to IP video but need to use legacy cabling.

However, our experience is that a key differentiator for these products, sadly, is their reliability.

So $500, $1000? What are we talking about here?
