Mini Converter Analog to SDI is perfect for converting from analog video in HD/SD component, NTSC, PAL or S-Video to SDI with the choice to embed SDI audio from balanced AES/EBU or analog audio inputs. Now you can convert analog devices such as Betacam SP, VHS, Set top boxes and HDV cameras to SDI video.
Build your SDI studio with the world's most advanced and easy to use converters. Only Mini Converters include auto SD/HD switching, redundant input, AES/EBU and analog audio on standard 1/4 inch jack connections, combined with advanced 3 Gb/s SDI technology. There's 4 great models to choose from depending on the conversion you need, plus a sync generator model!
Auto Switching SD and HD
Mini Converters instantly switch between all SD and HD video formats whenever the video input changes. A huge range of video standards are supported including, NTSC, PAL, 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 1080PsF/23.98, 1080PsF/24, 720p/59.94, 720p/50 and new formats can be added via USB.
Redundant SDI Input
Mini Converters feature a unique redundant input for mission critical tasks. Connect a redundant cable to the second input, and if the main SDI input is lost, Mini Converters will automatically switch over in an instant. A loop-through SDI output is also provided for connecting to other devices.
You can also loop to other mini converters when you need
to de-embed more audio channels from the SDI connection.
Includes AES/EBU or Analog Audio
Standard 1/4 inch jacks are built in for balanced audio that switches between AES/EBU or analog. Unlike other converters you don?t need custom audio cables, plus you can connect to either digital or analog audio equipment with just the one converter. Connect to a wide range of equipment using commonly available cables from any pro audio store. On HDMI models, full HDMI audio is supported.
New 3 Gb/s SDI Technology
Only Mini Converters include the latest 3 Gb/s SDI technology, and upgrades can be loaded via the built in USB connection for future video format compatibility. 3 Gb/s SDI is also fully compatible with all your standard definition and high definition SDI equipment.
High Quality
Mini Converters are built to the highest quality standards with low SDI jitter, so you get the longest SDI cable lengths combined with ultra low noise broadcast quality analog video and audio.
International Power Supply
Unlike other converters, a universal power supply is included with international socket adapters for all countries. To stop power accidentally being disconnected, a cable tie point is included to lock down the power connection tight!
