A Reliable Gateway Between Analog and SDI Workflows
The Mini Converter Analog to SDI is part of a family of converters designed for field constraints: stability, immediate integration, and consistent behavior from one setup to another. It addresses a persistent need in studios, OB trucks, and equipped rooms: re-injecting analog sources (archives, players, older cameras, or consumer equipment) into a modern SDI infrastructure, while maintaining coherent 4:2:2 processing and clean YUV conversion.
For Digitization, Live Control, and AV Integration
This converter is designed for audiovisual technicians, digitization managers, and live teams who need to save time without sacrificing reliability. It allows you to connect analog players and sources (composite, S-Video, component) to video switchers, recorders, SDI monitors, or capture cards. Whether in events or studios, you get a stable SDI output, easy to distribute, and immediately usable within a production or broadcast workflow.

Questions frequently asked
Can a VHS player or analog camera be converted to an SDI control room?
The video inputs accept composite NTSC/PAL, S-Video, and SD/HD component signals. The conversion provides an SDI signal in YUV 4:2:2 with automatic input format detection.
What audio connections are available to embed sound into the SDI?
Audio can be injected via 2 balanced analog channels or 2 balanced AES/EBU channels, then embedded within the SDI stream at 48 kHz / 24 bits.
Does the Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Analog to SDI 2 support 1080p?
The maximum conversion resolution stated is 1080i. Supported HD formats include 720p50, 720p59.94, 720p60, 1080i50, 1080i59.94, and 1080i60. 1080p is not listed among the compatible standards.
Why use both SDI outputs?
Two SDI outputs allow simultaneous feeding of a recorder and a monitor without an additional splitter. The connectors comply with SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M, and SMPTE 296M standards.
How is this converter powered and configured?
The universal 12 V power supply is included, with an operating range from 12 to 31 V DC and a consumption of 8.04 W. Settings are adjusted via mini-switches or USB 2.0 on Mac and Windows.
