Product Overview

The Blackmagic Design Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 12G converts SDI to HDMI and HDMI to SDI at the same time, in all SD, HD, and UHD formats up to 2160p60. Each direction can run a different video standard, so it works like two converters in one, and it adds camera control conversion for Blackmagic HDMI cameras such as the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K. This version does not include a power supply.

Product Description

This pocket-sized bidirectional converter has one 12G-SDI and one HDMI 2.0 connector on each side, converting in both directions simultaneously even when each direction uses a different SD, HD, or UHD standard. It can pass camera control and tally to an HDMI-output BMPCC 4K or 6K from an SDI-based live switcher, making those cameras usable in an SDI workflow. The converter supports HDMI timecode conversion to and from SDI, built-in SDI re-clocking for stable signals over longer cable runs, and embedded audio on both HDMI and SDI. The sturdy metal housing has power and signal LED indicators and a tally light, and the USB-C port powers the unit from a monitor, laptop, or adapter and handles firmware updates from a Mac or Windows computer. It's powered using a separately available power supply, or over USB-C.

Key Features
