Blackmagic BiDirectional SDI-HDMI 3G Micro Converter

The Blackmagic Design Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI-HDMI 3G is a compact, broadcast-quality device that converts SDI to HDMI and HDMI to SDI simultaneously in any combination of SD and HD formats up to 1080p60. It functions essentially as two converters in one small, rugged metal unit.

  • Simultaneous Conversion: Convert signals in both directions at the same time, even using different video standards for each direction.
  • Camera Control & Tally: Supports Blackmagic’s camera control protocol, allowing you to use a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera with professional SDI switchers like the ATEM series.
  • SDI Re-clocking: Built-in re-clocking on the 3G-SDI output reduces jitter and improves signal integrity, enabling stable performance over long cable runs.
  • Timecode Support: Full support for converting HDMI timecode to SDI and vice versa in both SD and HD formats.
  • Power Options: Powered via a USB-C port, allowing it to run from monitors, laptops, or portable battery packs. It is also available with an optional AC power supply.
