Technical Advantages

The Micro Converter uses full-size, locking-friendly connectors for stable links in mission-critical setups. Two independent 12G-SDI outputs make it easy to drive a switcher and a monitor at the same time. For 3G-SDI workflows, you can set the outputs to Level A or Level B for broad device compatibility.

Format support spans standard definition through Ultra HD and digital cinema. It handles common broadcast rates and high-quality 4K DCI at 24, 47.95, and 48 fps. Whether you work in NTSC or PAL, 720p or 1080i/p, or full 2160p, the converter keeps your signal clean and consistent.

Power is flexible. Use the USB port to draw power from a computer during live streaming, from a field battery on location, or from a wall adapter in the studio. No included PSU keeps the kit light and simple.

Real-World Applications

In live events, send an HDMI camera feed to SDI switchers and long-run cables without signal loss. In studio and post facilities, link laptops or media players to SDI routers and reference monitors. For houses of worship, education, and corporate AV, convert HDMI sources to SDI for reliable distribution and program monitoring.

The small size fits anywhere: mount it behind a display, tape it to a tripod leg, or drop it in a flypack. Dual SDI outs let you route one feed to a switcher and the other to a confidence monitor or recorder, keeping your workflow fast and organized.
