Mini Converter SDI Distribution
Mini Signal Converter
Overview
The Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI Distribution is a
1x8 distribution amplifier for SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI signals. The Mini
Converter auto-detects the input signal type, re-clocks it, and its eight
outputs automatically match the SDI video input. This device represents an
affordable way to distribute SDI signals throughout a facility or truck.
The Mini Converter SDI Distribution supports all SDI-related transmission features, including embedded audio, ancillary data, and the 3 Gb/s transmission rate that accommodates video formats up to 1080p and 2K progressive. It even handles ASI signals – asynchronous signals that carry multiple compressed programs that can be at varying transmission speeds.

Specifications
Description
Now you can distribute a single SD or HD-SDI connection to up to 8 different SDI outputs at the same time! You get a true 3G-SDI design with fully re-clocked outputs and automatic switching between all SD and HD formats up to 1080p60. You also get support for all ASI, ancillary and embedded audio formats. Mini Converter SDI Distribution is the perfect SD/HD SDI distribution converter for when you don’t need the cost of the Ultra HD model!
