Blackmagic Micro Converter HDMI to SDI 3G excl. PSU

Designed for compact and professional signal conversion, this miniature broadcast converter bridges the gap between consumer HDMI sources and professional SDI infrastructures with remarkable reliability. Its ultra‑small form factor makes it ideal for mobile rigs, tight installations and field work, while still delivering true broadcast quality video processing. By converting HDMI to 3G‑SDI, it enables seamless integration of cameras, computers and media players into SDI‑based production environments without compromising signal integrity. 

This model provides two independent 3G‑SDI outputs, allowing simultaneous connection to multiple pieces of professional equipment such as switchers, recorders or monitors. The outputs can be configured for level A or level B operation, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of broadcast devices. Support for both video and digital cinema frame rates, including 1080p24, 1080p47.95 and 1080p48, makes it suitable for live production, post‑production and film‑oriented workflows alike. 

Engineered with custom electronics that conform to global broadcast standards, the converter automatically detects the incoming HDMI signal and converts it with precise timing and color accuracy. This ensures stable operation across SD and HD formats up to 1080p60. Configuration and firmware updates are handled via a USB connection using Blackmagic’s utility software for macOS and Windows, allowing easy setup and long‑term compatibility as standards evolve.

Power is supplied via USB, offering maximum flexibility in the field or studio. The device can be powered directly from a laptop, display or USB power source, which is why this version is supplied without a power supply unit. This makes it particularly attractive for system integrators and technicians who already use centralized or USB‑based power solutions and want to minimise accessories. 

Despite its pocket‑sized design, the build quality is robust and intended for continuous professional use. It is an ideal solution for adding reliable SDI outputs to HDMI‑only equipment, maintaining clean cable runs and long‑distance transmission capabilities that SDI provides.
