Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Overview

The Mini Converter SDI Distribution 4K from Blackmagic Design is the perfect solution for distributing a Single Link SD/HD/3G/6G-SDI signal to up to eight SDI devices. It automatically detects the input signal type and re-clocks it, and its eight outputs automatically match the SDI input video format. With its compact form factor and easy-to-use controls, this Mini Converter is ideal for broadcast, post-production, and professional AV applications.

Using 6G-SDI technology, the Mini Converter supports resolutions up to Ultra HD 4K (3840 x 2160) at up to 30 fps and DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) at 24 fps, as well as SD, HD, and 3G-SDI signals. It supports all SDI-related transmission features, including embedded audio, and ancillary data, and even handles ASI signals - asynchronous signals that carry multiple compressed programs that can be at varying transmission speeds. The Mini Converter's settings are controlled using the built-in DIP switches or via USB using the included software for Max OS X or Windows computers. The USB port also enables the firmware to be updated. For powering the device, a 12V power supply is included with international socket adapters.
