Blackmagic Micro Converters
Micro Converter SDI to HDMI
With Micro Converter SDI to HDMI you can connect a huge range of HDMI displays and video
projectors to SDI based equipment. Your Micro Converter SDI to HDMI automatically detects
between SD/HD/3G-SDI and converts to HDMI with embedded audio. This tiny broadcast
quality converter is protected by a strong aluminum chassis and powers over USB, meaning you
can power your Blackmagic Micro Converter via your laptop or television’s USB connector using
a common micro USB cable. Micro USB 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.
