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 toyourconverter. Locking the power cable to the converter’s cable tie point prevents accidental disconnection. Micro Converter Blackmagic Micro Converter is powered using the micro USB connector. This gives you a convenient and flexible power solution. For example 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 device capable of providing 5V via a standard USB to Micro USBcable can power your Blackmagic Micro Converter. Battery Converters Blackmagic Battery Converters have a switch labeled ‘On Batt Off’ that is used to switch between mains power and battery power. When set to ‘On’, the Battery Converter will keepworking even if external power is lost. When set to ‘Off’, only external power is used to ensure built in battery power is saved. The LED near the switch indicates the battery charge level by a continuous illumination for 100 percent charge, three flashes for 50 to 90 percent charge, two flashes for 10 to 50 percent charge and a single flash if less than 10 percent chargeis remaining.

SDI IN POWER +12V SDI to Analog 5Getting StartedPlugging 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. 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.

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. 6Getting StartedFail 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. 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. TRSstands 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.

Switch 1 - HDMI Instant Lock Off, HDMI Instant Lock On Set switch 1 to OFF to select HDMI Instant Lock Off, or to ON to select HDMI Instant Lock On. When HDMI instant lock is enabled, the HDMI output signal is kept active even when changing sources. This means your converter does not have to wait for the HDMI television or monitor to lock before displaying the video output as the HDMI signal is already locked. It’s important to note that this feature only works when changing sources using the same video standard. The HDMI instant lock feature can introduce a small delay in video and audio, so if you need zero delay in your converted output you can bypass the HDMI instant lock feature by turning HDMI Instant Lock OFF. The switch legend on the base of your converter gives you all the information you need to change conversion settings Mini Switch Settings Example Experiment with the switches by setting your Blackmagic Mini Converter to de-embed SDI audio channels 1 and 2 and output to analog by setting switches 8, 4, 3 and 2 to the OFF position. 28Blackmagic Mini ConvertersSDI Audio Selection Table Audio Channels Switch 4 Switch 3 Switch 2 Switch Diagram 1 and 2 OFF OFF OFF 3 and 4 OFF OFF ON 5 and 6 OFF ON OFF 7 and 8 OFF ON ON 9 and 10 ON OFF OFF 11 and 12 ON OFF ON 13 and 14 ON ON OFF 15 and 16 ON ON ON Blackmagic Converters Setup Settings The Converters Setup utility can be used to change settings and update your Mini Converter’s software.

The ‘video’ tab for Mini Converter SDI to HDMI 6G contains the following settings. The ‘clip video output to legal levels’ setting is checked by default. This ensures that your HDMI video output stays within legal levels. 29Blackmagic Mini ConvertersProcessing 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. 80Blackmagic Mini ConvertersBelow 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 devices.

83Blackmagic Mini ConvertersSwitches 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. Switches 4 - 8 Switches 4 to 8 determine the format and standard of the converter’s output signal. Theswitch configuration for each format and standard is shown on the table on the base of the unit.

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 Converter UpDownCross 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 SD16:9 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. 16:9 Ratio Display4:3 Ratio Image 86Blackmagic Mini ConvertersBlackmagic Battery Converters Battery Converter SDI to HDMI With Battery Converter SDI to HDMI you can connect a huge range of HDMI displays and video projectors to SDI based equipment.
