Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI Distribution

The Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI Distribution is a 1×8 SDI distribution amplifier that auto-detects SD, HD, and 3G-SDI input and delivers 8 fully re-clocked outputs supporting all formats up to 1080p60, with a redundant SDI input, embedded audio pass-through, ancillary data and ASI support, and USB firmware updates in a compact, rugged housing.

Auto-Detecting Input with 8 Re-Clocked Outputs

The Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI Distribution automatically detects whether the incoming signal is SD, HD, or 3G-SDI and instantly matches all eight outputs to the input format, covering video standards including NTSC, PAL, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and 2K progressive up to 1080p60. Full SDI re-clocking on every output regenerates the signal, reduces jitter, and supports longer cable runs without video degradation.

Redundant SDI Input

A second SDI input provides automatic failover if the primary input is lost, making the converter a dependable option for mission-critical broadcast and live event applications where signal continuity is essential.

Embedded Audio, Ancillary Data, and ASI Support

The Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI Distribution passes embedded audio and ancillary data through all outputs intact, and also handles ASI signals, which carry multiple compressed programs at varying transmission speeds, giving it broad compatibility across broadcast and professional AV environments.

Compact and Firmware-Upgradeable

The converter’s 3G-SDI technology can be updated as video formats evolve via the built-in USB connection, protecting the investment over time. Its compact and rugged construction makes it equally suited for studio equipment racks, broadcast trucks, or live event setups.
