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.
Switch 1 - Processing Off - Processing On
Down convert HD to SD with 3 types of aspect ratios by cycling through switch 1. For example, each time
you cycle between OFF and ON you apply anamorphic, center cut or letterbox aspect ratios. Leaving switch
1 set to OFF bypasses the down converter and outputs in HD.
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.
Blackmagic Converter Utility Settings
The Converter Utility software complements your mini switch settings by providing supplementary
adjustment options.
