Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Audio to SDI

Embedding professional audio into SDI

Mini Converter Audio to SDI embeds up to four channels of balanced analogue audio or eight channels of digital AES/EBU audio into an SDI signal. Mixers, analogue recorders and other independent audio sources can therefore feed directly into an 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.
