Blackmagic Design - Micro Converter BiDirect SDI/HDMI 12G PSU

This device converts SDI to HDMI and HDMI to SDI simultaneously in any SD, HD, or Ultra HD format up to 2160p 60.

Each conversion direction also supports different SD, HD, and Ultra HD video standards. It's like having two converters in one! Its multi-rate 12G-SDI IN and OUT connections are compatible with professional broadcast equipment, including Level A and B devices.

The converter automatically detects any SD, HD, and Ultra HD format and has all the features needed to convert consumer HDMI equipment to SDI. Connect computers and consumer cameras to the Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI / HDMI 12G HDMI input to convert to 12G-SDI, and use the output to monitor images on large screen TVs or projectors.

With a durable metal pocket-sized design, it's perfect for live production and broadcast. It's compact enough to be hidden from view if needed, and it powers from any USB-C port, or via the included power supply with universal adapters!
