Compact and Rugged Design

The Blackmagic Micro Converter is the smallest video converter, featuring a compact design, for all kinds of broadcasts and live-streaming. This USB-powered converter can be powered by any television or laptop computer for portable use. It can convert any computer display or video projector into a high-quality, colour calibrated, broadcast monitor. It features high-quality broadcast technology, engineered into the miniaturised metal housing.

BiDirectional SDI and HDMI Conversion

This bi-directional converter can be used to convert SDI to HDMI or HDMI to SDI at the same time, in different formats. It can connect computers to SDI broadcast systems or convert HDMI cameras to professional SDI format. It supports a wide range of SDI formats and can automatically switch between standard definition and high definition. Using the setup utility, you can select between levels A and B when working with 3G-SDI video standards.

Broadcast Quality Conversion

This pocket-sized converter delivers broadcast-quality results, thanks to the high-quality signal processing and deep bit depth video pipeline. It features SDI reclocking, which regenerates SDI video and reduces SDI jitter for long-distance SDI cables. It can become extremely useful for live production where cameras and other equipment are connected to switchers at a long distance. It works with both 8- and 10-bit video formats, supporting a wide range of SD and HD formats.

Camera Control

The bidirectional signal conversion supports Blackmagic Camera Control and Tally so that a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera can be used with an ATEM SDI switcher. ATEM switchers send camera control over SDI and the converter can translate this to HDMI for the camera. A utility setup can be used to change the converter name and set the camera number so that the converter knows when it is being controlled from a live production switcher. To ensure that the data from the ATEM switcher is sent to the correct camera, the ATEM camera ID number has to be matched with the ATEM’s input number.
