Distribute a Single 4K SDI Signal to Eight Destinations with Flawless Integrity
Unlock professional, multi-destination workflows with the Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI Distribution 4K. This compact yet powerful device is the ultimate solution when you need to send a single video source to multiple screens, recorders, or switchers without any signal degradation. It's an essential tool for broadcast engineers, live event producers, and post-production facilities that demand reliability and pristine image quality.
The SDI Distribution 4K takes one SDI input and provides eight perfectly matched, re-clocked SDI outputs. The built-in 6G-SDI technology and automatic signal detection make it incredibly versatile and future-proof. It intelligently switches between all SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p30 and DCI 4K up to 4Kp25. This means you can confidently integrate it into any workflow, whether you're working with legacy standard definition equipment or the latest 4K cameras and monitors.
What truly sets this distribution amplifier apart is its re-clocking capability on every output. SDI signals can degrade over long cable runs, causing dropouts and digital 'sparkle'. Re-clocking regenerates the signal to its original strength, effectively reducing jitter and allowing you to run much longer cables while maintaining broadcast-quality standards. It also flawlessly passes all ancillary data, including embedded audio, subtitles, and even ASI streams for broadcast servers, ensuring every part of your signal reaches its destination intact. Housed in a rugged metal chassis and complete with a universal power supply, the Mini Converter SDI Distribution 4K is built for the rigors of professional use, day in and day out.
