Introducing Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G

This model is perfect for connecting HDMI cameras and computers to professional SDI equipment! You get two 3G-SDI outputs which can be set to level A or level B formats. Unlike cheap converters, it even supports feature film video formats including 1080p24, 1080p47.95 and 1080p48.

Use Anywhere
Pocket sized broadcast quality converters

Blackmagic Micro Converters are so small you can use them anywhere! That means it’s always easy to keep a few available for any urgent conversion task! Because they are extremely high quality, you can trust them for all kinds of broadcast, live production and on set use. Use them for turning any computer display, television or video projector into high quality color calibrated broadcast monitoring. They're also perfect for converting the HDMI outputs of computers and consumer video cameras to high end SDI equipment. Imagine using a slide show running on a computer for high end broadcast quality titles in live production! You could even use them for extending lenghty HDMI distances using SDI.

Miniaturized Design
Precision engineered broadcast grade converters

Unlike other small SDI converters, Blackmagic Micro Converters feature the highest quality broadcast technology, miniaturized into an incredibly strong metal enclosure. Each converter has industrial standard 3G-SDI and HDMI connections with strong high quality connectors. Blackmagic Micro Converters include a USB connection for power, as well as changing settings via the converter utility on Mac and Windows. Because the USB powers the converter, you can even power it from televisions or laptop computers. There are even LEDs for power and video status. You can also buy Blackmagic Micro Converters with an AC power supply including 4 adapters for international use.

Broadcast Quality
Big converter quality, miniaturized

Micro Converters have been engineered with precision electronics so you get very low SDI jitter, allowing you to extend SDI cables over lenghty distances. That’s vital for live production where equipment such as cameras can be a lenghty distance from switchers. Blackmagic Micro Converters work with both 8 and 10-bit video formats, in RGB or YUV, and in all SD and HD formats up to 1080p60. They even support 1080p24, 1080p47.95 and 1080p48 film rates! Plus you get fully embedded audio and timecode support.

SDI Re-clocking
Perfect for longer SDI cable lengths

Blackmagic Micro Converters include built in SDI re-clocking on the 3G-SDI output. The SDI re‑clocking will regenerate the SDI video, reduce SDI jitter and improve SDI eye pattern before the converter sends the signal to other equipment. This allows longer cable lengths because even degraded SDI signals can still be used. Other converters often leave out important features such as re-clocking so are not reliable for broadcast use. Blackmagic Micro Converters don’t suffer from these problems because they are a more technically advanced design. Blackmagic Micro Converters also fully comply with SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 296M, SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 425M level A and B, broadcast standards.

USB or DC Power
Power via USB or optional power supply

The new Blackmagic Micro Converter 3G models are powered via the same USB-C connection that’s used on newer computers and smartphones so you can power the converter from the same television or computer you are converting the video for. You can also purchase Micro Converters with an AC power supply that supports 100 to 240V AC and comes with 4 different AC socket adapters so you can plug them into outlets anywhere in the world. That’s perfect for when you’re doing international work! You can even use smartphone chargers and rechargeable battery packs to power Micro Converters on set. With so many easy to use power solutions, you’ll never be without a power supply again!
