Micro Converter HDMI to SDI 3G
You can use Micro Converter HDMI to SDI 3G to convert the HDMI ouput from video equipment
such as HDV cameras and game consoles to SDI. This means you can send video signals from
HDMI over SDI using the longest SDI cables. You can even add SDI outputs to computers with
HDMI compatibility.
This tiny broadcast quality converter is protected by a strong aluminum chassis and powers
over USB-C, meaning you can power your Blackmagic Micro Converter via your laptop or
television’s USB connector using a common USB-C cable. USB-C cables are used to connect
some cell phones to chargers and laptops, so if you have one of these, you can use the same
cable. If the USB connector on your cable is a different type, the correct cable can be
purchased from most electronic equipment stores.
