Getting Started 4 Getting Started Introducing Blackmagic Converters Blackmagic Converters are compact and affordable SDI converters for broadcast, studio and video production environments. Converters provide automatic switching between SD, HD and even full Ultra HD on relevant models. Low SDI jitter and SDI re-clocking allows the longest SDI cable lengths. Blackmagic Converters are available in 3 designs. Mini Converter, Mini Converter Heavy Duty and Battery Converter.
Getting Started Plugging in Power Plug in the 12 volt power supply using the socket adapter for your country. The cable tie point is for securing the power connection to your converter. If you are using a Battery Converter with access to external power, we recommend using external power unless you need to use the built in battery. This will maximize the life of the battery and ensure your Battery Converter is fully charged when you need it.
Getting Started ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Internal settings are applied by adjusting mini switches with a pen. Applying Settings using Mini Switches Many models of Mini Converter and Mini Converter Heavy Duty have mini switches used to configure internal settings. Change your settings using the tip of a pen.

Mini Converter UpDownCross Mini Switches Mini Converter UpDownCross’ mini switches provide the following settings: Switch 8 - Aspect Ratio Conversion Combinations of switches 8 and 7 set the video aspect ratio when up or down converting. For example, when down converting, the letterbox aspect ratio is applied by setting switches 8 and 7 to the OFF position.
Mini Converter UpDownCross You've probably noticed switches 8 and 7 share settings for up and down conversions. This is because aspect ratio settings are determined by the output settings. For example, if you have switches 3 and 2 set for 1080i50 HD output, and processing switch 1 set to ON, Mini Converter UpDownCross will automatically set switches 8 and 7 for down conversion.
