SDI IN POWER +12V SDI to Analog Locking the power cable to the converter’s cable tie point prevents accidental disconnection. Micro Converter Blackmagic Micro Converters are powered using USB-C or Micro USB connectors. This means you can easily connect power using the battery charger for some modern cell phones, or even power your converter via the USB port of your laptop computer. Any equipment capable of providing 5V via a standard USB to Micro USBcable or USB-C cable can power your Blackmagic Micro Converter. Plugging in Video To connect your video inputs and outputs, simply plug your source video into your converter’s video input and plug the video output into your destination equipment. BNC HDMI Optical Fiber Depending on your Blackmagic Convertermodel, the videoconnectors may be BNC, HDMI, or optical fiber LC. Getting Started 5Optical Fiber Connectors Some Blackmagic Converter models include an SFP socket to accept a compatible SFP optical fiber module that supports up to 3G, 6G or 12G-SDI video. The module is an optical transmitter and receiver with sockets for optical fiber cables.

Examine the Optical Out/In socket to make sure it is free of dust. Remove the protective cover from the SFP optical fiber module, and insert it in the SFP socket. A locking pin clicks into position to secure the module in the socket.

The optical fiber cables have latching tabs on top to make sure they don’t fall out. Plug in the optical fiber cables. Confirm the Out and In plugs are in the correct sockets, and that the locking tabs on the plugs hold the lever of the SFP optical fiber module upright. Fail Safe Alternate SDI inputs Some Blackmagic Converter models include alternative SDI inputs for redundancy. Theseinputs are labeled ‘Alt SDI In’ and will immediately take over should the primary SDI input signal fail. In this rare scenario, the SDI LOCK LED will flash, indicating that the converter has switched to the ALT SDI input.

SDI IN POWER +12V SDI to HDMI Converters with an ‘Alt SDI’ input will automatically switch to this secondary input should the primary SDI input signal fail. Getting Started 6Plugging in Audio Jack Audio Connectors Some Blackmagic Converters have built in 1/4" jacks, so you can easily plug in balanced external analog or digital AES/EBU audio. The 1/4" jacks are balanced TRS connectors. TRSstands for Tip, Ring, Sleeve which refers to the three contacts of the jack connector.

Sleeve (Ground) Tip (+) Sleeve (Ground) Ring (–) Tip (+) Ring (–) The audio jack illustration on the previous page shows the jack connector’s positive, negativeand ground wiring pins. Ifyou need to reverse the polarity of your analog audio cableto suit your audio equipment, youcan simply swap the positive and negative wiring onthe tip and ring pins. NOTE If you are connecting stereo analog audio, it’s worth mentioning that if you reverse the polarityfor one channel jack connector, make sure you do the same for the second or your stereo analog audio will be out of phase. Getting Started 7Installing Administration Software Installing Blackmagic Converters Setup Blackmagic Converters Setup is used to change settings on your converter and to update your converter’s internal software. The settings available will depend on the converter you are using. However, some Blackmagic Converters don’t require any adjustable settings and don’t have internal software, therefore these particular converters will not have a USB connector. If your converter is one of these, you can go straight to your converter model in this manual to learn more about it. Blackmagic Converters Setup can be installed on Mac OS and Windows computers.

The utility is also used to change any settings that can’t be set using the switches, for example analog video and audio levels. Changing Settings using Switches Many Blackmagic Converter models have built in switches. To change a switch setting simply push the switch up or down using the tip of a pen. This turns the switches on or off. With 8 switches, this gives you many combinations so you can choose exactly the conversion settings you want. You’ll find a switch settings diagram printed on the base of your converter. Ensure your switch settings correspond to the legend by observing the switch numbers from 1 to 8, left to right. Change settings by adjusting the switches with a pen. For a full description of the switches and their settings, refer to your converter model in this manual. Even though switch settings are printed on the base of your converter, new features in later updates can add new settings so it’s worth checking the latest version of this manual for the most up to date information. You can download the latest version from the Blackmagic Design support center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support. Changing Settings using Blackmagic Converters Setup Once Blackmagic Converters Setup is installed on your computer, connect the setup utility toyour Blackmagic Converter via USB.

Blackmagic Mini Converters 50Processing menu 33 Point 3D LUT Your Mini Converter SDI to HDMI 6G supports .cube LUT files that can be created using DaVinci Resolve software, or other color correction software that can export .cube files. You can load 2 separate LUTs by clicking on the ‘load’ button for each LUT slot, selecting the desired .cube file from your computer, and clicking ‘OK’. Click ‘save’ to confirm your settings. The LUT filename will appear next to each ‘load’ button so you know which LUT is being used for LUT 1 or LUT 2. What is a 3D LUT? A 3D LUT, or ‘3D Lookup Table’, is a file containing table of values that are used to modify the video colorspace to a new set of color values in a 3D cube space. The color cube contains all the variations between the mix of each primary color, defined within three x, y, z spatial dimensions. This means the RGB channels in the SDI input video can be remapped to any other RGB output color in the HDMI video output. This is very powerful as it means any color can be mapped to any other color so you can perform very precise color adjustments for calibrating displays, or loading log gamma curves for display when working with different types of raw camera files on set where you want to see linear gamma. To show how powerful 3D LUTs can be, one of the default LUTs loaded can convert your input video to black and white. This shows that all the input RGB colors are remapped via the 3D LUT to black and white RGB output values via the HDMI output. You can create your own 3D LUTs and upload them via the admin software and DaVinci Resolve even allows you to convert a color grade setting to a 3D LUT that you can then upload to your Mini Converter SDI to HDMI 6G. You can output the 3D LUT on the SDI video loop output so you could even use your Mini Converter as a dedicated 3D LUT color processor even if you don’t use the HDMI output! For more information on how to create a 3D LUT .cube file, refer to the DaVinci Resolve manual which you can download from the Blackmagic Design website at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.

This is because aspect ratio settings are determined by the output settings. For example, if you have switches 3 and 2 set for 1080i50 HD output, and processing switch 1 set to ON, Mini Converter UpDownCross will automatically set switches 8 and 7 for down conversion. Blackmagic Mini Converters 92Below is a description for each aspect ratio conversion: Up conversion 4:3 Pillarbox: This setting displays 4:3 standard definition inside a high definition 16:9 frame. Black bars feature on the sides. 14:9 Pillarbox: This setting is a compromise between 4:3 pillarbox and 16:9 zoom. The standard definition 4:3 image is slightly zoomed into, allowing more image in the 16:9 frame and reducing the amount of black bars on the sides, but slightly losing the top and bottom. 16:9 De-Squeeze: This setting de-squeezes the standard definition 4:3 anamorphic image until it completely fills the 16:9 frame. None of the 4:3 image is lost. Down conversion Letterbox: This setting scales the entire 16:9 HD image into a 4:3 SD frame without squeezing, leaving black bars on the top and bottom. Anamorphic: This setting horizontally squeezes the 16:9 HD image into a 4:3 SD frame. Center Cut: This setting cuts a 4:3 SD frame from the 16:9 HD image. This aspect ratio setting discards a portion from each side of the 16:9 image. Switch 1 - Processing Off - Processing On When switch 1 is set to OFF all conversions are bypassed and the Mini Converter can be used to distribute your video to six SDI destinations. Mini Switch Settings Example: Set the converter to up convert 4:3 625i50 video to 1080i50 with the 4:3 Pillarbox aspect ratio by setting switches 8 and 7 to the OFF position and switches 3, 2 and 1 to the ON position.

Blackmagic Mini Converters 95Switches Mini Converter UpDownCross HD’s switches provide the following settings : Switch 1 - Processing Off - Processing On When switch 1 is set to OFF all conversions are bypassed and the converter can be used to distribute your video via both SDI and HDMI outputs. With switch 1 set to OFF the SDI and HDMI outputs match their corresponding inputs. When switch 1 is set to ON, processing is enabled and switches 4 to 8 configure the converter’s output. Switch 2 - Level A and Level B 3G-SDI When switch 2 is set to OFF the converter outputs level B 3G-SDI. When set to ON the converter outputs level A 3G-SDI. This provides compatibility with other SDI equipment that uses level A or level B 3G-SDI. TIP If you have connected a 3G-SDI signal to 3G-SDI equipment and the signal is not being detected, try changing the setting for switch 2 as the equipment you’re connected to may be using an alternate SDI level.
