Frequently asked questions
Does the Blackmagic HDMI to SDI converter support 4K?
No, the 3G model supports resolutions up to 1080p at 60fps. For 4K workflows, you would require the 12G-SDI version of the converter.
How is the Blackmagic Micro Converter powered?
It is powered via a USB-C port. You can plug it into a wall outlet using a 5V adapter, or power it directly from a camera's USB port or a power bank.
Can I use this to connect my Sony A7III to a broadcast switcher?
Yes, this is the primary use case. It converts the Sony's HDMI output to SDI, which is the standard input for professional switchers like the ATEM Television Studio.
