DisputedParticipants disagreed and reached no conclusion. Read the findings as positions, not as an answer.

One experienced user reported no observable delay when using the Sony 750 HDCAM with downconverted SD signals in EFP work with HD SDI monitoring and on steadicam applications.
Downconverted HD signals typically introduce a delay due to processing requirements, with some Sony products exhibiting approximately 5 frames of latency.

The claim about no delay is based on one operator's subjective experience rather than technical measurement.
The general claim about 5 frames of delay in Sony products is not specifically verified for the 750 model.
