Key Information About the Mini Converter Audio to SDI
- Integrates your balanced analog and AES/EBU audio sources directly into a SD/HD 3G?SDI stream up to 1080p60.
- ALT SDI input for automatic redundancy in case of main signal loss, ideal for broadcast and live environments.
- Broad compatibility: SD, HD, 3G?SDI, YUV/RGB formats, 48 kHz/24 bit sampling.
- Quick setup via USB 2.0 and mini-switch adjustments for seamless integration.
A cornerstone of the Mini Converter range, focused on HD
The Mini Converter Audio to SDI is positioned as the ?HD focus? solution within the family, designed for professional audio integration without the additional cost associated with Ultra HD. It supports all SD, HD, and 3G?SDI standards up to 1080p60, as well as 2K DCI PsF profiles, to fit into current broadcast and postproduction workflows.
Designed for control rooms, live production, and postproduction
Whether you are powering an outside broadcast truck, a streaming control room, a studio, or an editing suite, this converter facilitates audio insertion from consoles, recorders, or external processors. Its SDI redundancy and automatic bitrate detection ensure essential service continuity in critical environments.
Key features for your HD?SDI workflows
Analog and digital audio integration
Four balanced analog channels on 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) jacks and eight AES/EBU digital channels allow routing of stems, buses, and mixes into SDI without additional equipment.
Signal security and broad compatibility
Automatic switching to the ALT SDI input protects your antennas and captures. 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 profiles, in YUV or RGB, guarantee maximum compatibility with video processing chains.
Express configuration
The high-speed USB 2.0 port simplifies updates and configuration on Mac and Windows, while mini-switches provide quick field adjustments.
