The Mini Converter Heavy Duty - SDI to HDMI from Blackmagic Design is an extremely rugged device that accepts a 3G/HD/SD-SDI signal via two redundant inputs and converts it to an HDMI output. From the SDI input signal you can choose to de-embed the audio to the balanced AES/EBU or L/R analog audio inputs. There's also an SDI loop output. Use this device to convert video from sources such as professional camcorders or I/O devices and output to affordable, high-quality HDMI displays for monitoring.
Converters in the Mini Converter Heavy Duty range are machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum and are generally designed to resist damage from rough use, whether outdoors or just in the course of live production. This super-strong Heavy Duty converter can withstand being run over by a truck and keep working. Its BNC and audio connections are protected by outcroppings of the aluminum body, unlike those on the standard Mini Converter line.
The converter features scratch-resistant laser-etched labeling, non-slip rubber feet, and a dust-resistant rubber boot that covers the mini configuration switches from dust and dirt.
