This miniature broadcast‑grade module offers simultaneous SDI‑to‑HDMI and HDMI‑to‑SDI conversion, allowing it to integrate consumer devices and professional video systems with exceptional flexibility. Its compact metal enclosure houses custom‑engineered electronics conforming to global broadcast standards, ensuring clean, reliable and predictable signal paths. Designed for productions that need both directions of conversion at once, it can handle different formats simultaneously, making it suitable for monitoring, routing and on‑camera applications where reliability and small size are essential.

Support for SD, HD and 3G‑SDI enables the unit to operate across a wide range of resolutions up to 1080p60. It detects incoming SDI signals automatically, switching seamlessly between standard definition, high definition or 3G‑SDI. Its HDMI input equally supports a broad selection of formats including 720p, 1080i and 1080p across a wide frame rate range, making it compatible with cameras, computers, recorders and playback devices. SDI loop‑out is reclocked, maintaining stable long‑distance cable performance and ensuring that connected monitors or downstream equipment receive a clean signal.

The converter also supports Blackmagic Camera Control protocol conversion, allowing HDMI‑based cameras such as the Pocket Cinema Camera models to integrate into SDI‑based live production switchers with tally and control. This makes it a powerful tool for mixed‑technology setups, enabling low‑cost cameras to behave as part of a professional control ecosystem. High‑precision 4:2:2 YUV processing and strict SMPTE compliance ensure accurate colour reproduction and full compatibility with broadcast signal chains.

Configuration is handled through a USB‑C connection using the free utility for macOS and Windows, which also enables firmware updates and SDI level selection. The device operates via USB‑C power, giving it exceptional versatility in the field as it can draw power from monitors, laptops or mobile power banks. In this excl. PSU version, no external AC supply is included, making it ideal for operators who power converters from on‑rig USB power distribution. Even so, power consumption remains low enough for extended operation from compact USB sources.

Thanks to its rugged build, automatic format handling and professional‑grade stability, this bidirectional unit is a dependable tool for bridging SDI and HDMI technology in live production, post‑production, streaming environments and portable rigs.
