Transforming SDI to Audio with Blackmagic Design Mini Converter
With the Blackmagic Design Mini Converter - SDI to Audio you can easily access the audio in any SDI video connection for output to audio equipment! Such as audio mixers, analog broadcast decks, audio monitors and more!
SDI to Audio
De-embed 4 channels of analog audio or 8 channels of AES/EBU digital audio from any SDI video connection. Access SDI audio for output to mixers, broadcast decks, and monitors.
Auto Switching SD and HD
Mini Converters effortlessly switch between SD and HD video formats, automatically adapting to input changes. They support a wide range of video standards, including NTSC, PAL, 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, and more, with the option to add new formats via USB.
Redundant SDI Input
Mini Converters offer redundancy for crucial tasks, like broadcasting or live events. A redundant cable can be connected to the second input, automatically switching over if the main input fails. This is ideal for locations with potential cable damage or hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, a loop-through SDI output is provided for connecting to other devices. This setup is also beneficial for handling more than 2 audio channels by connecting it to another Mini Converter for extra audio channel de-embedding.
New 3 Gb/s SDI Technology
Mini Converters uniquely offer the latest 3 Gb/s SDI technology and support future video format updates via the built-in USB connection. This technology is fully compatible with your standard and high-definition SDI equipment.
Built in AES/EBU or Analog Audio
Mini Converters feature versatile 1/4 inch jacks for both balanced analog and AES/EBU audio. These connectors use standard cables available at pro audio stores, eliminating the need for custom cables. You can switch between analog and digital audio using the same jack connections with a simple switch on the unit's side. HDMI models provide access to embedded HDMI audio.
High Quality
Mini Converters are engineered with top-tier quality, ensuring minimal SDI jitter for extended cable lengths. They incorporate multiple internal power supplies to deliver ultra-low-noise broadcast-quality analog video and audio. Unlike some competitors, Mini Converters don't compromise on video electronics quality to cut costs. They employ high-grade broadcast-quality analog audio and video electronics, mirroring the design of our premium Multibridge Eclipse models. This guarantees outstanding quality in a compact, budget-friendly unit.

It is so nice to see a small family owned shop instead of these big box stores. I generally felt cared about when getting my blackmagic cinema camera. Love the quality of the images and how easy it is to use.

This small business has the best customer service HANDS DOWN!!
Lucas worked with me diligently to help me find a camera that would fit my needs and that would arrive in time for my trip. I take photos, but wanted a smaller, more compact camera to take with me when traveling. He even reached out to other camera experts to make sure he was giving me the best advice for the equipment that would accommodate my needs!
Lucas was patient with me and was in constant contact with the camera supplier to keep me updated on the status of my order and when the items would be ready for shipment. Once my order arrived to the store, it was in my hands in less than 2 days. I would give 10 stars to this business if I could!!
SHOP SMALL! :)
AMAZING SERVICE!
In short: I was able to receive the black colorway below retail and free next day shipping with the promos that they offered for being a new camera web-shop based from AZ.
Long story: Lucas who is prolly the only rep for the company cuz they're so small is the best dude ever. Since i ordered he responded on emails and updates quicker than some of my friends texting me back about where am at on the list as people just kept cancelling their order. I went from 9th place in line to 4th place in line for the silver. And he hit me up saying that they were still waiting on Fuji to send shipping updates and that no company knows what they get on their weekly fuji shipments other than from a 24 hour window of receiving shipping details.
He then noted that there were two black X100Vs available that were reserved to customers who ordered but have not confirmed. I said if they dont confirm please let me know and ill take that instead of the silver. The next day he hits me saying the customer said to cancel and he sent me an invoice. I ordered accessories for the camera on amazon right after and my package for the camera came before my amazon package. Lucas was super nice and transparent about everything. Dope experience from NUZIRA.
Lucas was so incredibly helpful!!! I’ve genuinely never had better customer service. They offered to stay late so I could get my order and were so patient with all my questions. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

NUZIRA MADE MY MONTH!
I was a little concerned when I first came across this small business but I am so so thankful I di! They have the NICESt staff and customer service. I have been on the waitlist for this camera for a few months now so when Lucas called saying they had it back in stock I was so freaking excited! Made my whole month. This camera absolutely lives up to the hype. I love how lightweight it is. I can pop it into any bag and head out the door. the images are crisp, high quality, and stunning. I use film sim and not film sim. The film simulations are nearly identical to real film. I have another fuji camera that does film sim but it can't even be compared to this one. I love my Fujifilm X100v so much! Amazing camera! Thanks you Nuzira!
