OFFLINE Blackmagic Design Mini Converter, SDI Distribution

Full Description

Affordable conversion

Whoever said broadcast-quality had to be expensive? This 6G-SDI converter model will gladly process any SD or HD signal you need it to up to 1080p60. Featuring signal reclocking to reduce noise and signal jitter, you can achieve pristine studio-grade video, and clear embedded audio for processing live or in post.

Flexible signal path

Splitting your SDI signal up to eight ways, this distributor allows you to do just about anything you could need to do with a video source when used in combination with the other members of Blackmagic's Mini Converter family. Extract audio for editing and mixing, run through another converter to upscale the video, output reference copies, send a copy to an old-school analog screen for a vintage look, all of this can be done simultaneously. How you choose to process is up to your needs and setup, but this Mini Converter SDI Distributor ensures that you have the options you need to do so.
