Questions frequently asked
Can a 4K SDI camera be connected to an HDMI monitor in a concert control room?
The type A HDMI output supports signals up to 2160p30, while the input accepts SD, HD, and 6G-SDI. The 4K DCI formats 23.98p, 24p, and 25p are also supported on the SDI side.
Does the signal automatically switch to a backup SDI input?
An SDI ALT input ensures automatic switching in case of loss of the main signal. A loop-through SDI output also allows redistributing the stream to other equipment.
What audio outputs are available for a mixing console or broadcast system?
Two channels of balanced analog audio and two AES/EBU channels are available, with SDI audio sampled at 48 kHz / 24 bits.
Are 3D LUTs useful for video monitoring on stage?
The built-in 3D LUTs allow color matching between cameras and the monitor. Configuration and updates are done via USB. Instant HDMI lock facilitates source changes in live conditions.
What size and power supply should be expected for this Blackmagic Design converter?
The unit measures 123 x 92 x 23 mm, weighs 228 g, and consumes 8 W. An external power supply is provided.
