Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Reviews

Way more than we needed, but does the job

We updated 15 year old XVGA projectors to 98 TV screens for presentation in my church. After ripping out hundreds of feet of VGA cables (and splitters and line drivers, we pulled in hundreds of feet of SDI cable to get from the switcher/scaler to the TV sets. There are just two SDI runs, but we needed an SDI distribution amp to drive them. This BMD Mini Converter SDI Distribution box has 8 separate outputs, but we are only using two of them. We paired this up with several BMD Micro Converter SDI to DHMI 3G boxes that allow the SDI connection to loop through to the next location. It works perfectly without putting EOL resistors on the unused outputs. It is rock solid. And months after the installation, the complements keep coming in about how good these 5,000 NIT TCL TVs look compared to the 15 year old projectors.
