Running Multiple On-Set Monitors

Hey guys,

First let me apologize for posting an ebay link... I just can't find this anywhere else. Here is the situation. We are shooting a feature film on a budget that is not very friendly to the camera department as much of our equipment is graciously donated or loaned.

We have an HD Component Marshall 7" monitor for the on-cam rig, but we also want to run an SD monitor for the director in video village. Obviously the HVX200 does not put out both an HD signal and an SD signal. I have found no other way to get around this other than getting a down-convertor, except all of the one's I have found are out of the budget range.

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts. The director's monitor needs not to be the best quality, we just need a picture. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David
 
As far as I know the video out only works as a through. Being video village is SD and we are going in HD we can't get the 480 picture through. Am I incorrect with my statement. We tried to loop, but we have not had any luck.
