    Hi,

    my whole workflow is hd/sdi based but now my delivery need to be in PAL/Betacam Sp format.

    My editing suite is AJA/kona 3 based and i have SONY SRW5500 HDCAM SR deck.

    Is the blackmagic mini converter sdi to analog right solution for me?

    Hi Redzinald

    The Blackmagic SDI to analogue mini converter is a fantastic and cost effective solution to convert your SDI signal into an analogue component connection for your betacam.

    However, please be aware that the mini converter does not do any down conversion, and so if you put in HD SDI, you will get HD analogue component out.

    You should be able to a down conversion with your Kona card before outputting over SDI, and our converter will change the PAL SDI signal into an analogue PAL signal for your deck.

    Jesi li gledao za AJA konvertere?

    Imam u ponudi kokmpletan AJA asortiman konvertera.

    AJA bi bila najbolja solucija za konverziju signala

    Hi Callum,
    I am using a Black Magic SDI to analog mini converter to extract video from avid dx on a mac platform. Audio comes through OK and i was getting a readable signal through for picture but now just noise…. any ideas? i am playing out to a Pioneer DVR-LX60D ??????
