A Blackmagic HDMI to SDI converter that takes an HDMI signal and outputs 3G-SDI on a BNC connector, so you can carry a feed across a stage, hall or venue to a switcher, monitor or recorder.
It is USB powered and pocket sized, ready for live production the moment it arrives.
This is a Blackmagic Design Micro Converter HDMI to SDI 3G, a small broadcast-grade converter that changes an HDMI video signal into a 3G-SDI signal on a locking BNC connector.
HDMI is fine over short distances, but it drops out on long runs and the connector pulls loose easily.
SDI is the standard the industry uses on stage, in broadcast and at events because it holds a clean signal over much longer cable and locks in place.
The converter has one HDMI Type A input and gives you 3G-SDI output on BNC, automatically matching the format of your HDMI source.
It handles resolutions up to 1080p60, including common cinema frame rates, and passes embedded HDMI audio straight through to the SDI output, so you do not need a separate audio lead.
Built-in SDI reclocking keeps the signal stable across long cable, which is exactly what you want when the camera or laptop is far from the switcher.
It draws power over USB, so it can run from a laptop, a TV or a small USB power source, and it slips into a pocket or a padded pouch between jobs.
It converts in one direction, HDMI in to SDI out, so pair it with an SDI cable and an SDI-capable device to complete the chain.
