Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Analog to SDI

Reliable analogue-to-SDI conversion

Mini Converter Analog to SDI converts analogue component video in SD or HD, including PAL and NTSC sources, into digital SDI. It can embed balanced analogue audio or digital AES/EBU audio at the same time, making legacy sources easy to integrate into a modern SDI route.

The Mini Converter family was designed for professional broadcast, post-production and AV installations. Its compact metal enclosure, high-quality connectors and standard cabling make it easy to deploy in studios, control rooms and mobile systems.

Operation is deliberately straightforward: core functions are selected with miniature switches and the switch diagram is printed on the unit itself. USB supports configuration and firmware updates, allowing the converter to remain useful as the surrounding system evolves.

The electronics automatically handle supported SD and HD formats, while SDI models maintain a stable signal throughout the chain. This provides a practical bridge between legacy and current equipment without unnecessarily complex infrastructure.
