BLACKMAGIC HDMI TO HDSDI BATTERY

The new Mini Converter Heavy Duty range is precision machined from a solid block of



aircraft grade aluminum, designed to resist being damaged through rough handling in live production



and outdoor use. Each elegantly designed, super heavy duty converter is not only super-strong,



but also includes scratch resistant laser etched labeling, non slip rubber feet, and a dust resistant



rubber boot covering the configuration switches from dust and dirt. Only Blackmagic Design's



Mini Converter Heavy Duty family are so incredibly strong, they can even be run over



by a car or broadcast truck and keep on working!





SDI to HDMI :



Mini Converter SDI to HDMI converts from SDI to HDMI video with embedded HDMI audio,



plus balanced AES/EBU or analog audio. Imagine using big screen televisions and video projectors



for broadcast video monitoring! Now you can easily connect HDMI displays to SDI based equipment.





Auto Switching SD and HD :



Mini Converters instantly switch between standard definition and high definition video formats and



changeover is automatic when the video input changes. A huge range of video standards are



supported including, NTSC, PAL, 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 1080psf/23.98, 1080psf/24, 720p/59.94



and 720p/50 formats, plus new formats can be added via USB.





Redundant SDI Input :



Mini Converters feature a unique redundant input for mission critical tasks such as broadcast or live events.



You can connect a redundant cable to the second input, so if the main input is lost due to cable



damage or any other cause, Mini Converter will automatically switch over to the redundant input cable.



This lets you use Mini Converters in locations where crowds or the environment might cause cable



damage, or lets you place Mini Converters in hard to reach locations such as roof mounted video



projectors. A loop though SDI output is also provided for connecting to other devices.



A loop-thru SDI connection is also great if you need more than 2 audio channels, as you



can connect the loop-thru to another Mini Converter to de-embedd extra audio channels!





New 3 Gb/s SDI Technology :



Only Mini Converters include the latest 3 Gb/s SDI technology and upgrades can be loaded



via the built in USB connection for future video format compatibility. 3 Gb/s SDI is also fully compatible



with all your standard definition and high definition SDI equipment.





Built in AES/EBU or Analog Audio :



Standard 1/4 inch jacks are built in for balanced analog or AES/EBU audio. Because Mini Converters



use standard 1/4 inch jack connectors for all audio connections, you can use standard cables commonly



available from any pro audio store. Unlike other converters, Mini Converters don't need custom cables,



as any balanced 1/4 inch jack cable can be used. Mini Converters are also unique as the same



1/4 inch jack connections can be switched between professional balanced analog audio, or AES/EBU



digital audio. This means you only need one model of Mini Converter for both analog and digital audio.



You can select the type of audio from one of the mini switches on the side of the Mini Converter unit.



On modes with AES/EBU digital audio in, a sample rate converter lets you connect to any AES/EBU



source, either synchronized, or un-syncronized. On HDMI models, you also have full access



to the HDMI audio embedded in the HDMI video connection.





High Quality :



Mini Converters are built to highest quality standards with low SDI jitter so you get the



longest SDI cable lengths combined with multiple internal power supplies for ultra low noise broadcast



quality analog video and audio. Unlike other converters, Mini Converters don't use "low grade" video



electronics just to save cost. Mini Converters feature the highest grade broadcast quality analog audio



and video electronics. In fact, Mini Converters uses the same analog video design as our most expensive



and award winning Multibridge Eclipse! That means you get the highest quality, all in a very



affordable and incredibly compact unit.
