The Blackmagic Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 12G is a highly reliable, compact tool for bridging the gap between professional SDI camera systems, broadcast infrastructure, and HDMI displays. It is fully backwards compatible with 3G and 6G-SDI, automatically detecting and supporting a massive range of HD, 2K, UHD, and 4K video standards. This means you can take virtually any SDI video feed on set and output it directly to HDMI monitors, client televisions, or prosumer displays without sacrificing signal quality.

Beyond simple format conversion, this unit doubles as a highly capable on-set LUT box. It features full support for loading custom 33-point 3D LUTs, allowing you to accurately calibrate on-set monitors or apply a specific creative look to a flat Log camera feed so the director and client can see the intended final result.

Crucially, the loaded LUT does not just apply to the HDMI display. It can also be routed out through the 12G-SDI loop-through. This gives you the flexibility to use the converter purely as an inline colour node, sending a perfectly graded SDI feed downstream to the rest of your video monitoring setup, while simultaneously feeding your local HDMI monitor.

It is a simple, robust, and highly practical solution for both format conversion and advanced LUT colour management in any production environment.
