Information

The Essentials to Know About the Mini Converter Audio to SDI
• Embed professional audio into an SDI stream: integrate balanced analog sources and AES/EBU directly into an SD/HD/3G-SDI signal up to 1080p60, without changing your video chain.
• Broadcast redundancy: an ALT SDI input automatically takes over in case of main signal loss, ideal for live, control room, and broadcast environments.
• Extended compatibility: supports SD, HD, 3G-SDI, YUV/RGB profiles, audio sampling at 48 kHz / 24 bits, to fit into current workflows.
• Quick deployment: configuration via USB 2.0 and mini-switches, with automatic format detection for immediate field commissioning.

A Mini Converter Designed for HD and Existing SDI Infrastructures

The Mini Converter Audio to SDI follows the Mini Converter range philosophy: to offer a reliable conversion block, easy to deploy and tailored for production. Its particularity is being clearly oriented towards SD/HD/3G-SDI (up to 1080p60), making it a coherent alternative when you do not need Ultra HD features, while maintaining solid broadcast standards and clean integration into broadcast and postproduction pipelines.

For Whom and What Uses in Control Rooms, Streaming, and Postproduction

This converter is aimed at video technicians, sound engineers, and control room operators who need to embed external audio into SDI: console outputs, dynamic processors, multitrack recorders, players, or digital audio links such as AES/EBU. In live capture as well as editing suites, it avoids workarounds (additional boxes, rewiring, unnecessary conversions) and secures continuity thanks to SDI redundancy. The result: a clean SDI signal, immediately usable by video mixers, routers, recorders, and monitoring stations.

Questions frequently asked

Can the analog output of a mixing console be integrated into an SDI stream?

The four balanced analog audio channels on 6.35 mm jacks allow inserting a mix or stems into the SDI signal.

Which SDI video formats are supported?

Up to 1080p60, automatic detection occurs between SD, HD, and 3G-SDI Level B signals. Supported standards include 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and 2K DCI up to 25p.

Is the SDI input protected in case of signal loss?

The second ALT SDI input provides video signal redundancy. Automatic switching occurs when the main SDI signal is lost. The built-in SDI output then continues to be powered by the available input.

What audio quality is carried in the SDI?

The SDI audio signal is sampled at 48 kHz with 24-bit resolution. Eight balanced AES/EBU channels can also be injected via 6.35 mm jacks.

How is this Blackmagic Design converter configured and powered?

A universal 12 V power supply is included, with a power consumption of 8.4 W. Settings are adjusted using mini switches or via USB 2.0 from Mac and Windows.
