Key Information About the Mini Converter SDI to Analog 4K Video Converter
- SD/HD/3G/6G-SDI to analog YUV HD/SD component, NTSC/PAL composite, and S-Video conversion, with integrated down-conversion from Ultra HD sources.
- Redundant SDI input (ALT SDI) with automatic switching and loop-through SDI output for daisy-chaining your equipment.
- Professional 2-channel audio in balanced analog and balanced digital versions on 6.35 mm jacks.
- Simple configuration via USB, automatic format detection, and extended broadcast compatibility.
The Essential Link Between Modern SDI Sources and Analog Facilities
Designed for broadcast and post-production environments, this Mini Converter connects current SDI cameras, switchers, and recorders to existing analog monitors, VTRs, and matrix routers (Betacam SP, VHS, control monitors, etc.). Positioned within the ?Mini Converter 4K? family, it adds support for 6G-SDI and Ultra HD signals up to 2160p30 compared to previous generations.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Applications?
Ideal for live production control rooms, TV studios, AV integrators, and studios digitizing archives, it enables powering analog displays, providing backup monitoring, and distributing signals to mixed SD/HD/UHD workflows seamlessly.
Key Features and Innovations
The dual SDI input with automatic switching ensures continuous transmission in case of main signal loss. The loop-through SDI output simplifies signal distribution to another device. The converter performs clean
HD/SD down-conversion from 6G-SDI Ultra HD to YUV component, NTSC/PAL composite, or S-Video, with instant format detection.
Parameter control is done via mini-switches or USB. The 2-channel balanced analog and digital audio outputs integrate easily with your console or recorder for reliable monitoring in all situations.
