Description

The Blackmagic Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI is an ultra-compact, USB-powered video converter designed to bridge the gap between professional SDI gear and consumer HDMI devices. Unlike typical one-way converters, this bidirectional model simultaneously converts SDI to HDMI and HDMI to SDI, even in different formats. It’s perfect for pairing consumer cameras with pro switchers or extending HDMI runs via SDI without adding bulk to your setup.

Engineered to broadcast standards, this converter supports a wide range of SD, HD, and 3G-SDI video formats up to 1080p60, and it features reclocking for clean signal transmission. The all-metal housing ensures durability in demanding production environments, while the USB-C port powers the unit and allows access to settings via Mac or Windows. A power supply with international adapters is included.
