The Blackmagic Bi-Directional SDI-HDMI 3G Micro Converter is thw worlds smallest bidirectional broadcast quality converter!

It can convert SDI to HDMI,and at the same time HDMI to SDI, even in different formats! Plus it supports camera control protocol conversion, so you can use Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras with professional SDI live production switchers like the ATEM TV Studio Pro 4K!

The Micro Converter uses USB for power, so it can be powered directly from televisions or laptop computers or with the supplied power supply.

This model has been specifically designed for professional monitoring. It includes a 17 point 3D LUT for colour calibrating any monitor, projector or television. You can even output the 3D LUT on the SDI loop output. Plus it supports DCI formats and film rates including 1080p24, 1080p47.95 and 1080p48.

Monitoring with 3D LUTs

Get colour accurate monitoring on any type of display - the Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G model even includes a 3D LUT for colour accurate monitoring! You can apply custom looks, colour and gamma changes in real time for on set monitoring. LUTs can also be applied to the 3G‑SDI loop output, allowing you to use the converter as a 3D LUT processor!

Convert with Camera Control

The new Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G model even supports camera control so you can use a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera with an ATEM SDI switcher. ATEM switchers send camera control over SDI, and the converter can translate this to HDMI for the camera. Just connect SDI from the converter out to the switcher input, the switcher program out to the converter input, and then the HDMI converter input connects to the Pocket Cinema Camera. Now add a camera number in the converter utility and you'll get control of the camera colour corrector, tally and even remote recording! It even works in reverse and you can connect and control an SDI camera from an HDMI switcher such as ATEM Mini!

Includes HDMI Timecode Support

The new Micro Converter 3G models use a new Blackmagic Design custom hardware design so they're more advanced to better support the technical features that are critical to high end broadcast workflows. These features include support for HDMI and SDI timecode conversion. You even get full support for timecode in both standard definition and high definition video formats. This means if you have any HDMI device that supports timecode, you can convert it to SDI and get that timecode into larger broadcast systems.

SDI Re‑clocking

Blackmagic Micro Converters include built in SDI re-clocking on the 3G-SDI output. The SDI re‑clocking will regenerate the SDI video, reduce SDI jitter and improve SDI eye pattern before the converter sends the signal to other equipment. This allows longer cable lengths because even degraded SDI signals can still be used.
