Broadcast format converter

The Blackmagic Design Mini Converter UpDownCross HD converts between SD and HD video formats using SDI and HDMI connections. It incorporates the Teranex conversion algorithm for low-latency, broadcast-quality scaling. The unit automatically matches the input signal to a user-selected output format.

Broadcasters and post-production teams

This converter suits professionals bridging legacy SD equipment with modern HD workflows or connecting HDMI sources such as laptops to SDI infrastructure. It is not intended for users who require 4K or UHD signal processing, higher-bitrate SDI standards, fibre-optic transport or multi-channel audio embedding beyond the described HD operation.

SDI and HDMI cross-conversion

The single specification that defines suitability is the ability to cross-convert any SD or HD input format to any SD or HD output format over both SDI and HDMI interfaces simultaneously. If the workflow demands resolution support beyond HD, this model will not meet the requirement.
