Great, thanks! This really helps me with my decision. If I want standards conversions on inputs now, the Pro 4K is my one and only choice.

Do you know if that delay is added to the whole system, i.e. on all 8 inputs, or just those that actually need converting?
The whole reason I got BM gear was to be in the SDI world where, in my amature understanding, there is almost "real time" handling of the video signal through the switcher. My understanding is that I could self-monitor my own audio without noticeable delay (for example, if I was doing a demo where I had a camera on my face and was switching between my face and a connected iPad). I'd be shooting at 2160p59.94 and the switcher standard would be the same. I'd be using a mic connected through the camera and the iPad outputs 1080p59.94 so it needs upconverting.
So, in this case, would the delay only be on the input the iPad is connected to? Or would it also be on the SDI camera input (potentially causing an audio delay that could mess up my self-monitoring)?
