The 6" CineMonitorIIIa Analog SD Field Monitor from Transvideo is switchable between 4:3, 16:9, and anamorphic 1:2.35 aspect ratios thanks to the built-in format converter. The 4:3 ratio with 16/9 extract lines and the 16:9 ratio with 14/9 lines help framing for most editing requirements. The field monitor offers three composite video in, a straight video out, and a processed video out. If the monitor is set in 16:9, the processed video out will be 16:9. This processed signal can be fed to other monitors, recorders, or transmitters. It also accepts the higher quality Y/C input available on Arriflex video-assists.

Q: 10. Filming with an ARRI sr2 - will this convert a film video tap to digital?

A: I would be a millionaire if I had a dollar for every foot of film I ran through Arriflex SR cameras. So while I have not tested this set up, the specs sound right. The Arri's video tap, possibly a Transvideo product, outputs a Composite signal through a BNC connection. Connect the tap to the converter and it should work just fine in making a digital signal.
