Affordable XDCAM 1080i DolbyE Hardware player

Hi,
I'm looking for an XDCAM 1080i DolbyE hardware player that is able to play XDCAM disks and .mxf XDCAM files, but that doesn't cost a lot and that is not as big as a professional VTR. I mean, something more like a bluray than a VTR.
I recently bought a Panasonic 4K HDR bluray reader which also reads H.264 10bit files, but unfortunately, it doesn't read MPEG-2 files (XDCAM files). I could re-encode XDCAM files to H.264 as standard bluray and watch them at home, but I'd like to avoid that, also because 4:2:2 (yv16) -> 4:2:0 (yv12) introduces noticeable banding. I know that many of them don't have an HDMI output, but only an SDI one, which is not a big deal, though, 'cause I think there are SDI to HDMI converter cables out there.

Thank you in advance.
