HDMI & Component IN --> HDMIx2 and Composite OUT

[Jordan Scott Price]

I am beginning the production of a new camera rig, and, as the title suggests, I am trying to find something that will allow me to take an HDMI or Component signal and run it out as 2 x HDMI and 1 x Composite.

Does anyone know if a product like this exists? I've been looking through converter boxes online and have not found a singular unit for this yet.

Here's what I'm doing:

I often shoot with either the 7D, the HVX200, and the EX-1. I need to run a signal from these cameras to

• 7" on-board monitor via HDMI
• 15" LCD director's monitor via HDMI
• 3.5" DIY EVF via Composite

So, I need to be able to take the 7D or EX-1's HDMI out signals and split them to 2 HDMI outputs and 1 Composite output - OR - take the HVX200's Component output and split it to 2 HDMI outputs and 1 Composite output.

The ideal box would have INPUT: HDMI x 1, Component x 1; OUTPUT: HDMI x 2, Composite x 1.

I'm thinking, after browsing the web for a bit, that this will take a combination of boxes. Any help here with finding solutions would be great. I'm trying to stay under $200 and that powering the box(es) isn't an issue.


Thanks.

The best I have come up with so far:

Run an HDMI cable from the 7D to an http://HDMI SplitterHDMI Splitter, then run one HDMI OUT leg to the director's monitor, one to the on-board 7" monitor, and the other to an HDMI to Composite Converter Box, where I run the composite cable to the EVF.

That still, however, leaves out the Component input side of things, which I would really love when I'm working with cameras like the HVX200 that don't output HDMI.
