Getting Started
Getting started with your Blackmagic Converter is as simple as plugging in power, plugging your source video into your converter's video input, and plugging the video output into your destination equipment.
Plugging in Power
Plug in the included 12 volt power supply using the socket adapter for your country. If your converter has a built in cable tie point, you can easily secure the power connection to your converter.
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 USB cable 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 Converter model, the video connectors may be BNC, HDMI, or optical fiber LC.
Optical 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.

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.
These inputs 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.
Plugging 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. TRS stands for Tip, Ring, Sleeve which refers to the three contacts of the jack connector.
Below is an illustration showing the wiring pins inside the male 1/4" jack connector if you want to make your own audio cables.
The audio jack illustration on the previous page shows the jack connector's positive, negative and ground wiring pins. If you need to reverse the polarity of your analog audio cable to suit your audio equipment, you can simply swap the positive and negative wiring on the tip and ring pins.
NOTE If you are connecting stereo analog audio, it's worth mentioning that if you reverse the polarity for one channel jack connector, make sure you do the same for the second or your stereo analog audio will be out of phase.
Installing 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.

Changing Settings
If your Blackmagic Converter has adjustable settings, there are two ways you can change them. You can use the built in switches on the side of your converter, or you can change settings using the Blackmagic Converters Setup utility software. 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 to your Blackmagic Converter via USB.
The first thing you'll see when launching the software is the 'home' page. If you have more than one converter connected to your computer, select your desired converter by clicking the arrows on the left and right side of the Blackmagic Converters Setup home page.
To change settings, click on the 'settings' icon below the image of your Blackmagic Converter. Adjustments will be immediately saved to your converter. This means if power is lost, your settings will be reestablished as soon as power is restored.
The Blackmagic Converters setup utility lets you update your converter's internal software and adjust settings using a Mac OS or Windows computer.
Even though most settings are configured using the built in switches, some settings can only be set using the setup software, for example adjusting analog video or audio levels.
TIP Teranex Mini Converters are 12G-SDI converters that support even more video formats including up to 4K DCI 60p.

If you have only one input connected, the SDI and HDMI outputs both become loop outputs so you can feed the input signal to other HDMI and SDI equipment.
Your Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI automatically detects SD/HD/3G-SDI input format and sets the output format to match.
This tiny broadcast quality converter is protected by a strong aluminum chassis. It is powered over USB, meaning you can power your Blackmagic Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI from your laptop or television's USB connector using a common micro USB cable. Micro USB cables are used to connect some cell phones to chargers and laptops, so if you have one of these, you can use the same cable. If the USB connector on your cable is a different type, the correct cable can be purchased from most electronic equipment stores.

The 'clip video output to legal levels' setting is checked by default. This ensures that your HDMI video output stays within legal levels.
Processing 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.

Mini ConverterUpDownCross
Your Mini Converter UpDownCross performs up, down and cross conversions as well as NTSC/PAL standards conversion and format conversion. Mini Converter UpDownCross can convert between video formats such as 720p to 1080i and PAL and NTSC video standards. It also provides up conversions with aspect ratios such as 4:3 Pillarbox and 16:9 zoom, and down conversion options such as letterbox 4:3 and anamorphic 16:9.
When conversion processing is set to OFF, the Mini Converter acts as an SDI distribution amplifier.
Connectors
1-5 SDI OUT
SDI video outputs BNC connectors.
6 Mini-B USB port
Connects to the Converters Setup software via your Mac OS or Windows computer. The Mini Converter's internal software is also updated using the USB port.
7SDILOOP
Direct output of your input video.
8SDIIN
SDI Input.
9REFIN
Reference video input.
10 POWER+12V
12 volt power supply input.
Switches
Mini Converter UpDownCross' switches provide the following settings:
Switch 8 - Aspect Ratio Conversion
Combinations of switches 8 and 7 set the video aspect ratio when up or down converting. For example, when down converting, the letterbox aspect ratio is applied by setting switches 8 and 7 to the OFF position.
Aspect Ratio Conversion Table
| Down conversion Switch 8 Switch 7 Switch Diagram | ||||
| Letterbox |  16:9 Ratio Image 4:3 Ratio Display | OFF OFF |  | |
| Anamorphic |  16:9 Ratio Image 4:3 Ratio Display | OFF ON |  | |
| Center Cut |  16:9 Ratio Image 4:3 Ratio Display | ON ON |  | |
| Upconversion Switch 8 Switch 7 Switch Diagram | ||||
| 4:3Pillarbox |  16.9 Ratio Display4.3 Ratio Image | OFF OFF |  | |
| 14:9Pillarbox |  4:3 Ratio Image 16.9 Ratio Display | OFF ON |  | |
| 16:9De-Squeeze |  4:3 Ratio Display 16.9 Ratio Image | ON ON |  | |
You've probably noticed switches 8 and 7 share settings for up and down conversions. 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.
Below 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.
The switch legend on the base of your converter gives you all the information you need to change conversion settings.

Blackmagic Converters Setup Settings
The Blackmagic Converters Setup utility can be used to change settings such as aspect ratio, and update your Mini Converter's software. All utility settings are maintained, even when the Mini Converter is switched off. You can access these settings by moving between the 'video,' 'audio,' and 'about' tabs.
The ‘about’ tab is detailed in the ‘changing settings’ section in this manual.
The 'video' tab for Mini ConverterUpDownCross HD contains the following settings:
Use the 'video' tab in Converters Setup to select an SD aspect ratio.
Aspect Ratio for Standard Definition
Select an option for the aspect ratio of the SD output. You can choose 4:3 pillar boxed or 16:9. For example, if your input video is SD 4:3 then selecting 4:3 will output 4:3 pillar boxed to maintain the original 4:3 aspect ratio inside the 16:9 frame. However, if your input video is SD 16:9 select the 16:9 option to output a direct 16:9 conversion.
The default aspect ratio setting in the setup utility will output SD video as pillar boxed 4:3, however, you can set the converter to maintain a 16:9 ratio if required by selecting the 16:9 option on the 'video' tab of the setup utility.
Mini Converter SDI Distribution
With Mini Converter SDI Distribution you can output your SDI signal to eight SDI destinations simultaneously, such as decks, monitor walls and switchers.

Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G
This converter converts SD and HD video up to 12G-SDI to optical fiber and the other way around simultaneously.
The socket for the SFP type optical fiber module can be fitted with a compatible SFP optical fiber module that supports up to 3G, 6G or 12G-SDI video.
Your converter automatically detects the video input format and sets the output format to match. Both directions are completely independent.
This converter is helpful if you need to send and receive SDI signals over longer distances than traditional SDI cables will support. For example, SD video can be sent up to 45 km or 147,000 feet using optical fiber, compared to just 300 feet with copper SDI cables. 12G-SDI can be sent up to 6 km away!
