Product description

Blackmagic Mini Converter SDI to Audio 4K de-embeds audio from an SDI signal in formats up to Ultra HD and 4K DCI to separate outputs. From a 6G-SDI line it provides up to 4 channels of balanced analog audio or 8 channels of digital AES/EBU for mixing desks, audio monitors, recorders and other studio equipment.

4K SDI audio to outputs

Get the audio from a 6G-SDI line on separate analog outputs or AES/EBU. The converter helps with monitoring, metering and passing audio to a mixing desk in Ultra HD and 4K DCI production.

6G-SDIUltra HD4× analog8× AES/EBUPower supply included

4 analog or 8 AES/EBU channels

Each of the four jacks carries one analog channel or a pair of AES/EBU channels. Audio is output at 48 kHz and 24 bit.

Mixing desks

Bring SDI audio into the sound control room.

Monitoring and metering

Connect audio monitors or metering equipment.

Analog recorders

Record the program audio on an analog recorder.

Loop output

The SDI signal continues on unchanged.

Four analog channels or eight AES/EBU

The converter de-embeds up to 4 channels of balanced analog audio or up to 8 channels of digital AES/EBU from the SDI signal. Each of the four jacks carries either one analog channel or a pair of AES/EBU channels (1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8).

From SD to Ultra HD

The multi-rate 6G-SDI input detects SD, HD, 3G and 6G-SDI automatically and works with SD, HD, 2K DCI, Ultra HD up to 2160p30 and 4K DCI up to 25p.

SDI loop output

The SDI input signal continues through the reclocked loop output to further equipment, so the converter can be inserted into a route without interrupting it. Meanwhile the audio becomes available to the sound control room.

Redundant SDI input

In addition to the main SDI input, the converter has a redundant ALT SDI input. If the main signal is lost, for example when a cable is damaged, the converter automatically switches over to the redundant input and the audio outputs keep working.

Standard jack connectors

The audio outputs use standard 1/4 inch jacks, so no custom cables are needed. Audio is output at 48 kHz and 24 bit according to the television standard.

6G-SDI Mini Converter range

The 4K model is designed for Ultra HD production; for SD and HD up to 1080p60 the more affordable Mini Converter SDI to Audio is enough. Both models have the same audio connections and the same setup with mini switches.

Setup with mini switches or over USB

Functions are selected with mini switches using the diagram printed on the converter: analog audio or AES/EBU and the channel group in SDI that the audio comes from. Over USB and the utility for macOS and Windows, settings can be changed from a computer and new software installed.

For the sound control room and the studio

The Mini Converter range of converters is built for 24/7 operation: the compact metal body fits into a rack in the sound control room, in the studio or in an outside broadcast truck. The connections are easy to reach and use standard cables.

Connections

One side has four audio jacks (each for one analog channel or a pair of AES/EBU channels), the other the SDI input, the redundant ALT SDI input, the SDI loop output and the power input.
