Black magic cross converter

By Adam

Needed to get a 1080P signal converted to a 1080i signal. Used with DJI pro rc HDMI output. Works as expected. Dip switches are easy to use with many output flavors printed on device case.

A Great Tool

The Mini Converter UpDownCross HD converter works perfectly. I'm on a PC for video editing and needed to send an output to an older broadcast monitor that only accepts SDI inputs. The HDMI output from the PC graphics card goes to the UpDownCross HD converter and is converted to an SDI signal that is accepted by the video monitor. Dip switches on the side of the UpDownCross HD converter can be configured in many different ways to match the monitor input. It is a simple solution that works great for Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve.

The jack of all trades tool you should always have on hand. These things have saved the day on many occasions. If you need to integrate with someone else's equipment or use equipment that may not have the frame rate or resolution option you need, this will ensure there are no issues. Fantastic product! It just works.

Bringing Your Laptop Into OBS

I ordered the up down cross converter. I adjusted the dip switch for 1080 60 & hooked everything up and BOOM! It works. I can now use my laptop in my presentations & productions! Apparently, the old days of "adjustability" with analog- are gone. With digital, it's either working or no, not working. This converter helps with the "close but no cigar" moments - after you check & re-check and it still doesn't cooperate. I recommend that all parties take a hard look at the features, advantages, & benefits of the BMD line of tools & understand the how & why they were created.

Replaced a another brand, works great

Works great, I use it to supply a Jumbotron as some locations and at others where the camera can only supply HDMI 1080i and the input to the system requires an SDI 720P signal.

For a live shot using a Sony FX6 and a TVU unit, can I use this to split video and audio from the camera to the TVU and to an external monitor without problems?
Asked by: ed
Yes.I’m using 5 of them now in live tv broadcast without any problems or delay. Figuring out the dip switch positions for the desired result resolution is a little tricky but once you figure that out, works great. Suggestion, figure out the dip switch positions before installing them in a tight location.

If I had one hdmi input, can I use the 2 sdi out and the 1 sdi loop and the hdmi out to essentially have a 1x4 distribution splitter?

It would be a 1x3 distribution. The SDI Loop out can only be a reclocked copy of the SDI in.
