The New micro converters 3G are incredibly tiny broadcast video converters that let you connect between consumer HDMI and professional SDI equipment. The rugged and miniaturized design makes them small enough to be used anywhere! You get professional 3G-SDI connections for working with all SD and HD formats up to 1080p60. Micro Converters use USB for power, so they can be powered directly from televisions or laptop computers. You can even purchase them without power supplies if they are not needed! Only Blackmagic Micro Converters feature custom-designed electronics that conform to current global broadcast specifications and can be updated to new standards in the future.
The SDI to HDMI 3G model has been specifically designed for professional monitoring. It includes a 17 point 3D LUT for color calibrating any monitor, projector or television. You can even output the 3D LUT on the SDI loop output! Plus it supports DCI formats and film rates including 1080p24, 1080p47.95 and 1080p48.
The HDMI TO SDI 3G model is perfect for connecting HDMI cameras and computers to professional SDI equipment! You get two 3G-SDI outputs which can be set to level A or level B formats. Unlike cheap converters, it even supports feature film video formats including 1080p24, 1080p47.95 and 1080p48.
The BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G Convert allows users to convert SDI to HDMI and at the same time HDMI to SDI, even in different formats! Plus it supports camera control protocol conversion, so you can use Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras with professional SDI live production switchers!
Use Anywhere
The Blackmagic Micro Converters are so small you can use them anywhere! That means it’s always easy to keep a few available for any urgent conversion task! Because they are extremely high quality, you can trust them for all kinds of broadcast, live production, and on set use. Use them for turning any computer display, television, or video projector into high-quality color-calibrated broadcast monitoring. They're also perfect for converting the HDMI outputs of computers and consumer video cameras to high-end SDI equipment. Imagine using a slide show running on a computer for high-end broadcast-quality titles in live production! You could even use them for extending long HDMI distances using SDI.
Miniaturized Design
Unlike other small SDI converters, Blackmagic Micro Converters feature the highest quality broadcast technology, miniaturized into an incredibly strong metal enclosure. Each converter has industrial standard 3G-SDI and HDMI connections with strong high-quality connectors. Blackmagic Micro Converters include a USB connection for power, as well as changing settings via the converter utility on Mac and Windows. Because the USB powers the converter, you can even power it from televisions or laptop computers. There are even LEDs for power and video status. You can also buy Blackmagic Micro Converters with an AC power supply including 4 adapters for international use.
Monitoring with 3D LUTs
The Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G model even includes a 3D LUT for color accurate monitoring! You can apply custom looks, color and gamma changes in real time for on set monitoring. LUTs can also be applied to the 3G‑SDI loop output, allowing you to use the converter as a 3D LUT processor! You can also use 3D LUTs to get a color calibrated grading monitor using a low cost computer monitor or TV! You can even use the DaVinci Resolve primary color corrector to create amazing looks and then save them as custom 3D LUTs. Because DaVinci Resolve can be downloaded free, it costs nothing to start creating a world of custom 3D LUTs for monitoring! Imagine reproducing old film stocks!
Convert with Camera Control
The new Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G model even supports camera control so you can use a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera with an ATEM SDI switcher. ATEM switchers send camera control over SDI, and the converter can translate this to HDMI for the camera. Just connect SDI from the converter out to the switcher input, the switcher program out to the converter input, and then the HDMI converter input connects to the Pocket Cinema Camera. Now add a camera number in the converter utility and you'll get control of the camera color corrector, tally and even remote recording! It even works in reverse and you can connect and control an SDI camera from an HDMI switcher such as ATEM Mini!
