Blackmagic Design Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G with Power Supply
Introducing the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G with Power Supply, a versatile and compact converter perfect for professional and amateur video production environments. This bidirectional converter seamlessly converts between SDI and HDMI signals in both directions, providing the flexibility to integrate professional SDI equipment with consumer HDMI devices, or vice versa, in a single compact unit that fits anywhere in your production workflow.
True Bidirectional Conversion
Unlike unidirectional converters that only convert in one direction, the Micro Converter BiDirectional automatically detects which input has an active signal and converts it to the appropriate output format. Connect an HDMI source and get SDI output, or connect an SDI source and get HDMI output—all without manually switching modes or reconfiguring the unit. This automatic detection makes setup effortless and eliminates errors during live production when quick reconfigurations are necessary. The bidirectional design also reduces equipment inventory by replacing multiple single-direction converters with one versatile unit.
Professional 3G-SDI Support
The converter supports 3G-SDI (Level A and Level B), HD-SDI, and SD-SDI formats, providing compatibility with professional broadcast equipment across various resolution standards. Whether you're working with 1080p60, 1080i, 720p, or standard definition content, the Micro Converter automatically adapts to match your source format. The 3G-SDI support ensures compatibility with modern professional video equipment while maintaining backward compatibility with older HD-SDI and SD-SDI infrastructure, protecting your investment in existing equipment.
Compact Form Factor for Flexible Installation
The Micro Converter's incredibly compact design allows installation virtually anywhere in your production setup. Mount it behind monitors using the integrated mounting bracket, attach it to camera rigs, hide it within equipment racks, or place it discretely on set. The small footprint doesn't compromise functionality—full conversion capabilities are maintained in a package that adapts to space-constrained production environments. The included 100-240V AC power supply with international socket adapters ensures reliable operation anywhere in the world.

Professional Video Production Applications
Essential for broadcast facilities integrating HDMI monitors with SDI infrastructure, live event production connecting consumer displays to professional SDI cameras, corporate video departments bridging HDMI presentation systems with SDI recording equipment, houses of worship integrating HDMI projectors with SDI video production systems, educational institutions connecting classroom HDMI displays to professional SDI cameras, video production companies maintaining flexibility across client equipment, streaming operations converting between formats for different distribution platforms, live streaming setups integrating professional cameras with HDMI capture devices, post-production facilities with mixed SDI/HDMI monitoring, and any professional video environment requiring seamless conversion between SDI and HDMI formats.
Bridging Professional and Consumer Video Equipment
The Micro Converter BiDirectional excels at bridging the gap between professional broadcast equipment using SDI connections and consumer displays or devices using HDMI connections. Use professional SDI cameras with HDMI confidence monitors, connect HDMI computers to professional SDI switchers, feed HDMI projectors from SDI production systems, or integrate HDMI consumer cameras into professional SDI workflows. The bidirectional functionality means one converter handles multiple scenarios, eliminating the need to stock different converter models for different applications.
Automatic Format Detection and Conversion
The converter's automatic format detection eliminates configuration complexity. Simply connect your video sources and displays—the converter automatically detects active inputs, determines the incoming video format, and outputs the converted signal at the appropriate resolution and frame rate. This plug-and-play operation prevents format mismatch errors that can cause display issues or production delays. The visual status LEDs provide immediate confirmation of active signals and conversion operation, simplifying troubleshooting in complex multi-device setups.
