Professional 12G-SDI Monitoring in Your Pocket
Bridge the gap between professional SDI and consumer HDMI equipment with the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 12G. This incredibly compact and rugged converter is the ultimate solution for monitoring your broadcast-quality video signals on widely available HDMI monitors, televisions, and projectors. Whether you're on set, in a live production environment, or in a post-production suite, this converter delivers the pristine quality and reliability that professionals demand.
Engineered for today's high-resolution workflows, this model supports all SD, HD, 4K, and Ultra HD standards up to a stunning 2160p60. Its true power lies in its advanced color-processing features. With a built-in 17-point 3D Look-Up Table (LUT), you can turn any display into a color-calibrated broadcast monitor, ensuring what you see is what you get. You can even apply the LUT to the 12G-SDI loop output, allowing the converter to double as a portable 3D LUT processor for downstream equipment. It's also fully equipped for modern HDR workflows, supporting PQ and HLG formats.
Despite its advanced capabilities, the Micro Converter is designed for maximum convenience. Housed in a miniaturized, durable metal enclosure, it’s small enough to fit in any gear bag. Power is delivered via a standard USB-C connection, allowing you to power it directly from your television, laptop, or any USB power bank. Unlike cheaper alternatives, Blackmagic Micro Converters feature precision electronics that ensure very low SDI jitter, allowing you to run long SDI cables without signal degradation. It’s an indispensable, broadcast-grade tool built for the future of video production.
