Blackmagic Design CONVMBHS Overview

The Blackmagic Design HDMI to SDI 6G Mini Converter converts HDMI to SD, HD, 3G, or 6G-SDI in resolutions up to DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) at 24p and UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) up to 30p. This is useful for connecting consumer devices that output HDMI signals with professional SDI video equipment. With a compact form factor and easy-to-use controls, the Mini Converter is ideal for a variety of broadcast, post-production, and professional AV applications.

Using 4K HDMI and 6G-SDI technologies, the Mini Converter automatically detects the input video format and instantly changes between SD, HD, and UHD/DCI 4K formats. The two 6G-SDI outputs also support SD and HD-SDI signals for integration into existing workflows. Both 6G-SDI outputs send duplicate signals. Audio is embedded in the SDI output from either the HDMI input or from the two 1/4" input jacks which support four channels of AES/EBU digital audio or two channels of analog audio.

The Mini Converter's settings are controlled using the built-in switches or via USB using the control software for Max OS X or Windows computers, which can be downloaded on Blackmagic Design's website. The USB port also enables the firmware to be updated.

The device is powered by an included 12V power supply and includes international socket adapters.

Can I use this converter with the HDMI connection ...

Can I use this converter with the HDMI connection of my Macbook Pro? Will I be limited to mirroring my own display or can I use that converter to stream a second SDI monitor?

Asked by: Renaud

This will not work on Macbooks if you are going to a drop frame format. 23.976, 29.97, or 59.94. Macbooks can only output 24, 30, and 60 and since this unit doesn't convert it wont work with those formats.

Can the XLR be used to de-embed audio from HDMI out to a mixer?

Asked by: Tom

No, the analog audio ports are inputs only. When using the Blackmagic Design HDMI to SDI 6G Mini Converter, use the HDMI DE-embedder below for HDMI sources. Also, if you want to use the converter and output via SDI, you can convert using the Blackmagic SDI to Audio Mini converter.
