Overview:

The new Blackmagic Mini Converter range are the worlds mostadvanced converters because they include the latest 6G-SDI technology, plusautomatically detect the input video format and instantly change between virtuallyall SD, HD and Ultra HD video standards! Simply plug in and Mini Converterswill convert between your equipment all automatically!

You get advanced features such as redundant SDI inputs,re-clocked loop outputs and full analog and AES/EBU audio inputs and outputs soyou can convert between formats as well as embed or de-embed audio all on theone converter! Choose from a range of 13 models depending on the conversion youneed!

• This Mini Converter SDI Multiplex 4K from Blackmagic Design allows you to convert between Quad Link HD-SDI, Dual Link 3G-SDI, and Single Link 6G-SDI Ultra HD (UHD) signals. This is useful for connecting devices that use Quad and Dual Link UHD signals with those that use Single Link 6G signals. You can also convert between Dual Link HD-SDI 4:4:4 and Single Link 3G-SDI.
• The output signal from the Mini Converter will have a matching resolution and frame rate as the input signal. Embedded SDI audio is sampled at 48kHz and 24-bit. When inputting a single SD or HD SDI signal, all four SDI outputs are active and pass through the incoming signal with no conversion. This also applies for 6G-SDI signals when no Dual Link or Quad Link conversion is selected. This lets you take a single SD/HD/6G-SDI signal and send it to four separate devices. For powering the Mini Converter, a 12V universal power supply comes included.

Features:

• Easy To Use Features

Broadcast, post production and professional AV environmentsare built using SDI equipment and cabling. It’s essential when converting toand from SDI that you maintain the highest possible video and audio quality.Mini Converters are compact, affordable and easy-to-use. Settings can bechanged quickly using built-in mini switches, and with a diagram showing pinsettings printed on the back you never need to refer to a manual! MiniConverters use standard broadcast video and audio connections, so you get theconvenience and cost savings of using your own cables!

• Ultra HD and 6G-SDI Technology

Make the move to Ultra HD, the broadcast standard of thefuture, easy! Be prepared now by installing equipment that is fully compatiblewith all your SD and HD-SDI infrastructure, but will also switch over to UltraHD via 6G-SDI when you need to run Ultra HD! This means you’re ready for thefuture and can build your system with full Ultra HD compatibility! Ultra HDfeatures an incredible 4 times the resolution of regular 1080 HD video for amassive 3840 x 2160 frame size! Ultra HD is amazing! The advanced 6G-SDI designalso means the new Blackmagic Mini Converters models perform better when usedin SD and HD formats than simple HD only converters!

• Standard AudioConnections

Mini Converters support embedded SDI and HDMI audio andseveral models let you separately embed or de-embed analog or digital audio.Mini Converters support 24 bit analog and AES/EBU audio and use standard1/4" audio jacks so you don't need custom cables!

• Powerful Performance

Unlike other converters that can be confusing to operate andsometimes identify, Mini Converters combine powerful performance with a simple,compact design! Built-in connections are easy to access and all use standardcables that you're already likely to own!

• Optical Fiber Conversion

Mini Converter is available in a 6G-SDI to optical fibermodel. You get bi-directional 6G-SDI to optical fiber conversion, with eachdirection independent of each other. Optical fiber cables span distances up to28 miles without any deterioration to the signal.

• Highest Quality Processing

With the highest quality video processing, Mini Convertersare ideal for all broadcast, post production and professional AV applications.Multiple internal power supplies ensure incredibly low noise levels when movingbetween analog and digital video formats. Specific models include up/down/crossconversion that lets you move easily between PAL and NTSC SD video standardsand the high number of HD formats in up to 3840 x 2160 Ultra HD resolutions

• Easy Settings Control

Changing Mini Converter's built-in mini switch settings isas easy as using a pen! This is great when you need to change settings quicklyas there are no complicated menus to navigate! You can also control settingsusing the included Converter Utility software.

Connect a Mini Converter to any Mac OS X or Windows basedlaptop or desktop computer! All models can be updated via USB 2.0 by simplydownloading software upgrades directly from the Blackmagic Design website.

The converter you need when converting between Quad Link HD-SDI, Dual Link 3G-SDI and Single Link 6G-SDI Ultra HD equipment. Mini Converter SDI Multiplex 4K includes 4 x 6G-SDI inputs and 4 x 6G-SDI outputs so it can convert in both directions. Also converts between Dual Link HD-SDI 4:4:4 and Single Link 3G-SDI.
