Professional HDMI to SDI Conversion for Broadcast and Film
Seamlessly integrate consumer HDMI equipment into your professional broadcast, live production, or post-production workflow with the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter HDMI to SDI 3G. This compact and rugged converter is engineered to the highest standards, providing a reliable bridge between HDMI cameras, laptops, and gaming consoles and your professional SDI switchers, routers, and monitors. Unlike basic, unbranded adapters, this micro converter delivers broadcast-quality signal processing that preserves the integrity of your video, ensuring what you capture is exactly what you see.
The standout feature is its dual 3G-SDI outputs. This allows you to send your converted signal to two separate destinations simultaneously—for example, a production switcher and an on-set reference monitor—without the need for an additional distribution amplifier. For maximum compatibility with a wide range of professional gear, both outputs can be configured to Level A or Level B formats via a simple setup utility. This model goes beyond standard HD, offering full support for cinematic frame rates, including 1080p24, 1080p47.95, and 1080p48, making it an indispensable tool for independent filmmakers and high-end productions. The converter automatically detects and switches between all SD, HD, and 3G-SDI formats up to 1080p60, taking the guesswork out of your setup. Built to last and ready for global use, it comes complete with a universal 100-240V AC power supply and international socket adapters, making it the perfect companion for any gear bag.
