Mini Switches
Mini Converter HDMI to SDI’s mini switches provide the following settings:
Switch 8 - Analog Audio, AES/EBU Audio
Set switch 8 to OFF to select balanced analog audio, or to ON for digital AES/EBU audio input. To use these
inputs Switch 7 must also be set to ON.
Switch 7 - HDMI Audio - Input Audio
Set switch 7 to OFF to select embedded HDMI audio, or to ON for analog or AES/EBU audio.
Format
There are 2 conversion formats to choose from.
AUTO - switch 1 to OFF, switch 2 to OFF.
In this mode, the SDI output resolution will match the HDMI input. For example, if the HDMI input is Ultra
HD, the SDI output will be Ultra HD.
FORCE TO HD - switch 1 to OFF, switch 2 to ON.
In this mode, the output is forced to HD if the input is Ultra HD. The Mini Converter will attempt to switch
the HDMI input format to HD if the source equipment supports this feature. If the HDMI input is SD, the
output will remain SD.
When connected to the Blackmagic Converter Utility via USB, your down conversion settings are controlled
by the software. If you want the converter to remember your software settings, disconnect from the
computer, power cycle your converter and set your down conversion using mini switch 1.
