This ultra compact broadcast grade converter is designed for professional environments where flexibility, reliability and minimal footprint are essential. It enables simultaneous conversion from SDI to HDMI and from HDMI to SDI, with each direction operating independently and even in different video standards. This makes it particularly suitable for live production, rental, OB setups and compact control rooms where consumer HDMI equipment must integrate seamlessly with professional SDI infrastructure. 
The device supports full 12G SDI, allowing operation across all standard definition, high definition and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60, including 4K DCI. Automatic multi rate detection ensures correct handling of SD, HD, 2K, Ultra HD and 4K signals without manual intervention, reducing setup time and preventing format mismatches during fast paced productions.
Despite its small size, this converter meets strict broadcast specifications. The SDI connection is compliant with all relevant SMPTE standards, while the HDMI 2.0 interface supports professional YUV 4:2:2 color. On the SDI to HDMI path, a 33 point 3D LUT can be applied for accurate monitor calibration, making it a reliable choice for critical viewing on set or in production environments when paired with the Blackmagic Converter Utility software on macOS or Windows.
A key advantage of this bidirectional model is support for Blackmagic Camera Control and tally data. This enables remote control of compatible Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras over SDI when connected to professional live production switchers, eliminating the need for additional control cabling and simplifying multi camera workflows. 
Power is supplied via USB C, allowing the unit to be powered from monitors, laptops or centralized USB power systems. This version is supplied without a power supply unit, providing greater flexibility for system integrators and rental companies that already use standardized USB power solutions. Its rugged, pocket sized design makes it ideal for permanent installations as well as mobile production kits where space and weight are critical considerations.
