BLACKMAGIC HDMI to SDI Mini Converter

Product Information

They only do signal conversions and do not change characteristics of the video signal like resolution, frame rate, aspect ratio, or color space. This line delay offers up to 160 frames of delay adjustable in 1ms increments, four 3G-SDI delayed outputs, and one 3G-SDI non-delayed loop output. HDCP is a digital copy protection found in HDMI devices that prevents the copying of digital video and audio content as it passes through the signal chain. Scale any input up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 fps including 8 of the most popular VGA formats, adjust image settings like brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation with the built-in proc amp, embed two channels of analog audio, and configure settings with DIP switches or over a USB connection.

HDMI video standards include 525i59.94 NTSC, 625i50 PAL, 720p50, 720p59.94, 720p60, 1080p23.98, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p29.97, 1080p30, 1080p50, 1080p59.94, 1080p60, 1080i50, 1080i59.94 and 1080i60. Plus 3G level A and B are supported. Automatically detects SD, HD, 2KDCI, UltraHD and 4KDCI. Level A and B is automatically detected on 3G-SDI input and user selectable on 3G-SDI output. HDMI Video Standards SDI video, 75ohm, BNC; SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 259M, 3G level A and B-DL and B-DS according to SMPTE ST 425-1 and ST 425-2, with image formats 1280 x 720 and 1920 x 1080. SDI video connections are switchable between standard definition, 720p, 1080i, 1080p and DCI highdefinition. SDI Color PrecisionScale any input up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 fps, including DVI input formats like 640 x 480, 800 x 600, and 1024 x 768. But there is nothing really glamorous here. It's just a solid full-bandwidth NDI encoder/decoder directly from the source. While this converter is not available yet, I can pretty much guarantee it's going to sell like hotcakes. They work best when your source signal is already SMPTE-compliant and you do not need to change any part of the signal before output.

For the rare situations where you need to reliably convert SDI to VGA, this is a low-key converter that just works. It would only make sense that products made by NewTek, the developers of NDI, would show up near the top. SDI video inputs are automatically detected between standard definition, high definition, 3G‑SDI and 6G-SDI. HDMI to SDI 6G supports levelB only on 3G-SDIoutput. If you need, or ever plan on needing, 4K or UHD capability then this is a no-brainer. Just get it! (If you can find it)DCI 23.98p, 2K DCI 24p, 2K DCI 25p, 2K DCI 23.98PsF, 2K DCI 24PsF, 2K DCI 25PsF Ultra HD Video Standards Create custom looks with high precision 3D LUTs Mini Converter SDI to HDMI 6G also includes a full 33 point 3D lookup table for high precision colour conversions. That means you can apply custom looks, colour and gamma changes in realtime for on set monitoring. LUTs can also be used with the SDI loop output, transforming the converter into a 3D LUT processor! The LUT’s are compatible with DaVinci Resolve so you get consistent colour on set and in post. Other handy features include aspect ratio conversion for standard definition inputs and a reference input for receiving sync from external sources. SMPTE's ST 2110 is a growing suite of standards for the transport, synchronization, and structure of video, audio, and ancillary data over managed IP networks.

IMPORTANT: I always recommend scaler converters when converting HDMI signals from computers and consumer devices to SDI. While the ST 2110 specifications have been around for more than 6 years now, it has only just begun to take off in adoption and integration. So while there might be few options here right now (and most being quite expensive), expect this category to grow rapidly and prices to come down as more products are released.I recommend Kiloview be your first look when implementing NDI. They are one of the few that fully get it. version 2.0b type A connector. 24 bit (3x 8bit) and 30 bit (3x 10bit), deep colour; R,G,B / Y,Cr,Cb / X,Y,Z.

However, because VGA cannot get anywhere near 4K or UHD resolutions, there aren't many options when you need to interface VGA with formats greater than 1080p. An optional fibre interface allows the module to be used for monitoring fibre connections and also function as a SDI to fibre converter. When a fibre transceiver option is fitted the module may be used with either an electrical SDI input or a fibre input signal, selected by a DIP switch. The module will provide both a fibre and electrical SDI output of the selected input signal as well as the HDMI output. version 1.4a (deep colour), type A connector. 24 bit (3x 8bit) and 30 bit (3x 10bit), deep colour; R,G,B / Y,Cr,Cb / X,Y,Z.One common complaint with HDMI to SDI conversion is the inability to play HDCP-encrypted content even when all the proper licensing and permissions are acquired. So, if you don't need 4K or UHD capability and don't need to deal with any rare or odd formats/standards, these are just about the best value out there. NDI is a royalty-free protocol released in 2015 that enables devices to send and receive compressed video, audio, and ancillary data over a LAN. It gained in popularity as one of the first reliable AV over IP solutions because of its royalty-free licensing model and compressed format, allowing it to run over simpler and low-cost networking infrastructure. SDI video inputs are automatically detected between standard definition, high definition, levelA or levelB 3G‑SDI, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI.
