Blackmagic Design Studio Converter
The Blackmagic Design Studio Converter is the studio-based counterpart to the Blackmagic Design Studio Camera Pro, designed to radically simplify camera connectivity in a professional broadcast environment. It enables a complete SMPTE fiber-style workflow using a single, low-cost 10G copper Ethernet cable. This one connection carries the camera's video feed, return program feed, timecode, reference, tally, talkback, and camera control signals. The Studio Converter acts as a breakout box at the switcher or control room end, providing standard broadcast connections for all these signals. A key feature is its massive internal power supply, which delivers Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the connected camera, eliminating the need for a separate power source on location. This streamlined approach offers the robust functionality of traditional fiber links but with the cost-effectiveness and accessibility of standard network cabling, making it ideal for live production, broadcast studios, and OB vans.

If you would like to return any item(s), please contact us by either emailing info@dittools.eu or calling (+372) 5556 0057. We will share with you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code and ask that you clearly mark this code outside of your shipping box as you ship your item(s) back for a refund.

In order to determine whether the return is initiated due to a technical problem, we may ask for you to provide visual support like images or a video on the item(s).
Shipping
Returned merchandise must be in its original packaging, and placed in a decent shipping box, e.g. the same box that we shipped the items to you in. Please make sure to clearly mark the RMA code you have received from us outside on the box.
Do not forget to cover or peel off any existing shipping labels on the box.
DIT Supplies OÜ cannot be held accountable for return shipments that have not reached us or returns made without RMA codes. We strongly advise that if you are returning the item(s) with a carrier of your choice that you use a traceable shipping method.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
