A 6G-SDI Evolution Within the "Mini Converter" Range
Designed in the spirit of the Mini Converter line, the SDI Distribution 4K follows the philosophy of "simple, robust, ready to use" while meeting the demands of modern production chains. Where previous generations focused on 3G-SDI and perfectly met HD requirements, this version takes a step forward with 6G-SDI compatibility to cleanly distribute Ultra HD and 4K sources up to 30p. The result: you retain a compact chassis and standard SDI cabling while gaining the flexibility to coexist SD, HD, 2K, and UHD/4K DCI within the same infrastructure.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses? A Reliable Daily SDI Distribution Tool
The Mini Converter SDI Distribution 4K is aimed at control rooms, studios, live service providers, shooting stages, fixed installations, OB vans, and streaming setups that need to feed multiple devices in parallel from a single source. For example, it allows sending the same signal simultaneously to a video mixer, recorder, monitoring displays, format converter, and streaming solution without multiplying loops or weakening the chain.
Thanks to automatic standard and resolution detection, you reduce handling during camera, player, or format changes (switching from HD to UHD, 25p to 29.97, etc.). This is a real time saver in operation, especially in events and multi-camera capture, where service continuity is the priority.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Mini Converter SDI Distribution 4K support 4K signals?
The 6G-SDI compatibility allows distribution of Ultra HD and 4K DCI sources up to 30p. SD, HD, and 2K formats are also automatically detected.
How many SDI displays or devices can be powered from a single source?
One SDI input is duplicated across 8 SDI outputs, all automatically matching the incoming signal. This allows simultaneous feeding of a switcher, a recorder, and multiple monitoring displays.
Is audio preserved on the SDI outputs?
Audio embedded in the SDI stream is transmitted at 48 kHz / 24-bit. Ancillary data also accompanies the video signal.
Is this SDI distributor suitable for a video control room or streaming?
Its internal reclocking and synchronization stabilize the signal before distribution across the 8 outputs. This model is suitable for control rooms, film sets, and streaming setups using a single SDI source. ASI support extends its use to certain broadcast applications.
What power supply is provided with the Blackmagic Design SDI distributor?
A 12 V universal power supply with international adapters is included. The device accepts a 12 to 31 V DC range and consumes 4.8 W.
