Introducing Blackmagic Converters

Blackmagic Converters are compact and affordable SDI converters for broadcast, studio and video
production environments. Converters provide automatic switching between SD, HD and full Ultra HD
on relevant models. Low SDI jitter and SDI re-clocking allows the longest SDI cable lengths.
Blackmagic Converters are available in 3 designs. Mini Converter, Mini Converter Heavy Duty and
Battery Converter.
Mini Converter is a sturdy and lightweight design.
Mini Converter Heavy Duty is robust, ultra strong, and capable of withstanding the harshest environments.
Battery Converter is ultra strong with an internal rechargeable battery for operating in the field without
external power.
Simple mini switches select input and output settings. The mini switch legend printed on the back of
your converter provides all the information you need.
A 12V power supply is included with international socket adapters. Specified models can also be battery
operated using your own 12 - 31 V DC power supply and software updates are installed via the converter's
USB port. Blackmagic Converters provide the following conversions:
