SDI to Analog Conversion
The Blackmagic Design Mini Converter accepts an SDI input signal and converts it to HD or SD component, NTSC, PAL, or S-video output. It is built for broadcast engineers and post-production facilities that need to integrate legacy analog monitors or recorders into modern serial digital workflows. The unit also provides a loop-through SDI output for signal continuity.
Switchable SD, HD and 3G-SDI Input
The single specification that decides compatibility is the switchable SDI input, which handles SD, HD and 3Gb/s SDI standards automatically. If your source operates outside these three serial digital rates, this converter will not lock to the signal and a different interface device is required.
12VDC Power Supply
The converter ships with an external 12VDC power supply and draws minimal power during normal operation. The compact metal enclosure runs passively without a fan, so it adds no audible noise to a quiet studio or outside broadcast rack.

Questions about this item
What does the switchable SD, HD and 3Gb/s SDI input mean for my workflow?
The converter accepts standard-definition, high-definition and 3Gb/s SDI signals on a single BNC input, so you can feed it from legacy SD cameras, modern HD gear or 3G-SDI sources without changing hardware.
How does the AES/EBU digital audio output limit what I can connect?
The two balanced ¼-inch jacks carry professional AES/EBU digital audio de-embedded from the SDI stream, so they connect directly to digital mixers or recorders that expect that standard.
What physical space and mounting does the Mini Converter need?
The compact metal enclosure sits on a desk or rack shelf and ships with a 12 V DC power supply; no rack ears or brackets are included.
