Professional SDI Monitoring and Conversion up to Ultra HD
Bridge the gap between your professional SDI workflow and common HDMI displays with the Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI 6G to HDMI. This robust and compact converter is an essential tool for broadcasters, live event producers, and post-production professionals who need to reliably monitor or display SDI video sources on HDMI screens, from large televisions to projectors. It seamlessly handles all video formats, from standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) up to stunning Ultra HD (2160p30), ensuring your signal retains its pristine quality throughout the conversion process.
More than just a simple converter, this device is packed with advanced features for a professional workflow. It allows you to de-embed audio from the SDI stream and output it to the HDMI signal, or separately as two channels of balanced analog audio or four channels of AES/EBU digital audio. This gives you incredible flexibility for connecting to audio mixers, monitors, and other equipment. For critical on-set monitoring, the built-in 3D LUT support allows you to apply custom color looks in real-time, ensuring what you see on set is what you'll get in post. Furthermore, the intelligent down-converter lets you monitor Ultra HD sources on more affordable HD displays without compromising the ability to see your shot.
Reliability is paramount in any professional environment. That's why the Mini Converter includes a redundant SDI input that automatically switches over if the main signal is lost, preventing black screens during critical live broadcasts or recordings. It also features SDI re-clocking to regenerate the signal over long cable runs and HDMI Instant Lock, which maintains an active HDMI signal to your display for glitch-free, instantaneous switching between sources. Housed in a durable metal chassis and powered by an included universal power supply, the Blackmagic Mini Converter SDI 6G to HDMI is built to perform flawlessly in the studio or in the field.
