This miniature broadcast converter is engineered to connect modern HDMI devices to professional SDI infrastructures with exceptional clarity and reliability. Designed for studios, live production environments and mobile workflows, it delivers a robust 12G‑SDI signal path capable of handling everything from standard definition sources to full Ultra HD and cinematic 4K DCI formats. The unit accepts HDMI input from cameras, computers or playback systems and outputs two matching 12G‑SDI feeds, allowing operators to route the signal simultaneously to switchers, monitors or recorders without needing additional distribution hardware. This makes it especially valuable in compact rigs where signal duplication and stability are essential.
Internally, the processing architecture automatically detects incoming SD, HD, Ultra HD and 4K DCI formats across a wide range of frame rates including 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 47.95, 48, 50 and 59.94 frames per second. This automatic adaptation ensures seamless integration even when switching between diverse source material. The 12G‑SDI outputs are user selectable between Level A and Level B when operating in 3G modes, maintaining compatibility with a wide range of professional hardware. The high‑precision signal path ensures accurate color representation and supports a 33‑point LUT for calibration or gamma correction using the software utility. This allows users to standardize the appearance of computer feeds, camera outputs or grading sources before routing them into a broadcast pipeline.
The rugged metal enclosure is designed for demanding field use while remaining small enough to be hidden within equipment racks, flypacks or behind displays. Power can be supplied via USB‑C or through the included multi‑region AC power supply, offering consistent operation in studio or remote locations. Embedded audio and timecode pass cleanly through the SDI output, ensuring proper synchronization in multi‑device environments and enabling workflows where matching sound and picture is critical. With support for every major SDI rate from 270 Mb through 12G‑SDI, the converter provides long‑distance cable performance and full integration with existing routers and switchers used throughout professional broadcast facilities.
This compact unit combines seamless format detection, high‑bandwidth UHD capability and robust hardware design, making it a dependable solution for bridging HDMI sources to professional SDI systems across any production setting.
