Blackmagic Design Audio-to-SDI 4K Mini Converter

Audio Inputs and Outputs

Mini Converter Audio to SDI 4K includes everything you need to embed 4 channels of analog audio or 8 channels of AES/EBU digital audio into any SDI video connection.

The analog audio inputs are 4 channels of professional balanced analog audio, and the digital audio inputs are 8 channels of professional balanced digital audio, both on standard 1/4 inch jack connections.

Video Inputs and Outputs

There is 1 x SD, HD or 6G-SDI input, plus 1 x ALT SDI input that switches over automatically if the main input is lost. The output is 1 x embedded SDI, and it is reclocked.

Formats are detected automatically between SD, HD, 3G and 6G-SDI. The standards go up to Ultra HD 2160p30 and DCI 4Kp30. SDI compliance is SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 296M, SMPTE 372M, SMPTE ST2081, ITU-R BT.656 and ITU-R BT.601.

Video sampling is 4:2:2 and 4:4:4. The embedded audio uses a 48kHz, 24-bit sample rate.

Setup and Power

Settings are changed with mini switches or USB software. Software upgrades run over USB 2.0 high speed (480 Mb/s), on Mac and Windows.

Power comes from a 12V universal power supply with international socket adapters for most countries. Power consumption is 8.40 Watts, and the operational voltage range is 12 to 31V DC. The operating temperature range is 0° to 40° C.
