BLACKMAGIC MICRO CONVERTER BIDIRECT SDI/HDMI 12G

Blackmagic Design Micro Converter Bidirectional SDI/HDMI 12G

• Simultaneous SDI to HDMI and HDMI to SDI
• 1 x SD/HD/12G-SDI in
• 1 x SD/HD/12G-SDI out
• 1x HDMI in
• 1x HDMI out
• Supports up to DCI 4K60 video

Now you can convert SDI to HDMI and HDMI to SDI in all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60.
Each conversion direction can be a different SD, HD or Ultra HD video standard, it’s like getting two converters in one.
The all metal durable design is perfect for live production and broadcast. Plus it’s small enough to be hidden and used anywhere. It can be powered from any USB-C socket.
This model can convert in both directions, in different standards at the same time. You can convert SDI to HDMI and HDMI to SDI simultaneously. Plus it supports camera control protocol conversion, so you can use Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras with professional SDI live production switchers.

The world’s smallest USB powered broadcast converters

The new Blackmagic Micro Converters are incredibly tiny broadcast video converters that let you connect between consumer HDMI and professional SDI equipment. The rugged and miniaturized design makes them small enough to be used anywhere.
You get professional 3G-SDI or 12G-SDI connections, depending on the models, so you can work with SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60.
Micro Converters use USB for power, so they can be powered directly from televisions or laptop computers.
You can even purchase them without power supplies. Only Blackmagic Micro Converters feature custom electronics that conform to global broadcast specifications, and can be updated to new standards in the future.

Big converter quality, miniaturized

Unlike cheap converters, Blackmagic Micro Converters include the highest quality signal processing and deep bit depth video pipeline. Micro Converters have been engineered with precision electronics so you get very low SDI jitter, allowing you to extend SDI cables over long distances.
That’s vital for live production where equipment such as cameras can be a long distance from switchers. Blackmagic Micro Converters work with both 8 and 10-bit video formats, in RGB or YUV, and in all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats, depending on the model, up to 2160p60.
They even support 1080p24, 1080p47.95, 1080p48, 4Kp24, 4Kp47.95 and 4Kp48 film rates.
Plus you get fully embedded audio and timecode support.

Convert with Camera Control

The new Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI models even support camera control so you can use a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera with an ATEM SDI switcher.
ATEM switchers send camera control over SDI, and the converter can translate this to HDMI for the camera. Just connect SDI from the converter out to the switcher input, the switcher program out to the converter input, and then the HDMI converter input connects to the Pocket Cinema Camera.
Now add a camera number in the converter utility and you'll get control of the camera color corrector, tally and even remote recording.
 It even works in reverse and you can connect and control an SDI camera from an HDMI switcher such as ATEM Mini.
