This works ok with SDI 75 feet From PTZ camera. I give it a lower rating because the power supply does not power the converter. No plug-in supply works. Only power from usb to computer works. Blackmagic still hasn’t given me an answer as to why. This is inconvenient. Save some money and buy without the attendant power supply as long as you have a computer USB port available.

I have had no complaints on all of our blackmagic converters. And the heavy metal enclosure is good.

The Blackmagic Micro Converter works just as well as the more expensive versions. Had another brand converter go out and needed a quick replacement, sticking with this one from now on. Easy to use, easy to set up, can't beat it for the price.

We own a number of less expensive Monoprice converters that seem to get the job done, but I wanted to buy into a trusted brand if we were making any more purchases for our AV business. I bought two HDMI>SDI and two SDI>HDMI so we could do long runs of HDMI devices on podiums to the back of the room where tech and our video switcher was. Unfortunately both of the Blackmagic runs had issues - one was color spaced out, and the other had signal dropping in and out. I imagine that I need to force settings for our resolution and everything, but I didn't have time on show site. I replaced both Blackmagic runs with our Monoprice boxes and the Monoprice came up with no issue on both. Really kind of sad it wasn't plug and play out of the box, but still hoping on the Blackmagic brand. I'm going to need to spend some time connecting them USB to my computer and figuring settings I guess....

This adapter works great as advertised. Video and audio comes through on HD SDI and converts to HDMI for my TV. I've bought $300 versions of this in the past and am so glad Blackmagic has made this $85 version.

Having used several competitors units, and having some fail after little usage, I was elated to see the HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI Micro products being offered by Blackmagic. Very compact. Good price point. Upgradable via mini-USB and power by supplied power supply or USB from TV/Monitor. GREAT IDEA. Would strongly recommend. Already have to associate who purchased some for signage applications.

The Blackmagic Micro Converters are incredibly tiny broadcast quality video con verters that come in two models, one for converting from SDI to HDMI, and one f or converting from HDMI to SDI. The rugged, miniaturized design of Blackmagic M icro Converters makes them small enough to be used anywhere and conveniently hi dden out of sight! You get HDMI and professional 3G-SDI connections for working with all SD and HD formats up to 1080p60, along with an external power supply. You can even power them over USB, so Micro Converters can be powered by big sc reen televisions or laptop computers without having to plug them into the wall!
Pocket size broadcast quality converters!

Whether you're carrying one in your laptop bag or in your outsi de broadcast van and road cases, they're professional, broadcast quality converters that can be easily hidden so the audience never sees them.

Perfect for longer SDI cable lengths
Blackmagic Micro Converters include built in SDI re-clocking on the 3G-SDI input. The SDI re-clocking will regenerate the SDI vi deo input, reduce SDI jitter and improve SDI eye pattern before the signal gets to the converter's processing. This allows longer cable lengths because even degraded SDI signals can still be used. Other small, cheap converters often leave out important fea tures such as this, making them unreliable for broadcast use. Blackmagic Micro Converters don't suffer from these problems becau se they are a true professional design!
