This compact broadcast converter is engineered to connect professional SDI equipment to consumer HDMI displays with exceptional reliability and image accuracy. Its extremely small footprint makes it easy to integrate into mobile rigs, fly‑packs or fixed installations where space is limited, while still meeting the strict requirements of broadcast environments. By converting 3G‑SDI to HDMI, it allows professional cameras, switchers and routers to be monitored on standard televisions, computer displays or projectors without compromising signal quality. 

The device supports a wide range of SD and HD formats up to 1080p60, including digital cinema frame rates such as 1080p24, 1080p47.95 and 1080p48. Automatic detection of SDI formats ensures seamless operation, eliminating the need for manual configuration when switching between standards. This makes it especially suitable for live production environments where signals may change frequently and reliability is critical. 

A key feature of this model is the built‑in 17‑point 3D LUT, which allows accurate color calibration of connected HDMI displays. Using the Blackmagic software utility on macOS or Windows, custom LUTs can be loaded into the converter, ensuring consistent color reproduction across different monitors. The LUT can also be applied to the SDI loop output, making it possible to maintain calibrated monitoring throughout a signal chain. 

Power is supplied via USB, providing maximum flexibility for both studio and field use. The converter can be powered directly from a monitor, computer or USB power source, which is why this version is supplied without a power supply unit. This is ideal for professional users who already employ centralized power solutions or wish to minimize accessories when building compact systems. 

Despite its pocket‑sized design, the internal electronics are built to global broadcast standards, ensuring stable clocking, low jitter and dependable long‑term operation. Firmware updates and configuration are handled over USB, allowing the unit to remain compatible with evolving video standards. This makes it a dependable choice for broadcast, post‑production and AV professionals who require accurate SDI‑to‑HDMI monitoring in a highly portable form.
