I have a DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K in my computer, and I use the HDMI output to monitor on a BenQ PV270 monitor and would like to use the micro converter 3G to convert the SDI output from the Decklink card into the HDMI input on a UHD TV. Would this converter work for that?
Asked by: Pablo
The Blackmagic Design Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G will only support 2K resolutions or lower, so if you are looking to output in a UHD format you would need a higher resolution converter, such as the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 12G with Power Supply (B&H # BLMCSH12GPSU).

Does this come with a USB-C cable for power?
Asked by: Nick
This SKU does not come with a power supply or cable. The Blackmagic Design Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G with Power Supply (BH #BLCMCSH3WPSU • MFR #CONVCMIC/SH03G/WPSU) does include a power supply with USB-C on one end and an AC plug on the other. It is not a USB-C to USB-C cable.
