The yellowbrik 12G/3G/HD/SD-SDI to HDMI Converter from Lynx Technik AG converts most SDI sources up to 12 Gb/s, 2160p into HDMI signals. It can de-embed SDI audio to 16-channel AES and balanced or unbalanced stereo analog. It also features SFP slots for fiber input and output to extend the signal using fiber transmission.

For monitoring applications, the converter features H/V delay to show blanking interval and incorporates the ability to burn-in timecode, 16-channel audio level metering, and other data as well as generate safe area makers. Many of the settings can be accessed directly from the device itself using dip switches, and more advanced settings can be configured on a Mac or Windows computer using the yellowGUI utility software. A USB cable is included to connect to the computer.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this work with the BMD Studio Micro camera control. The same way as with the Pocket cameras?

A: At the moment it does not. This will be addressed in a future update.

Q: 2. Will the 12G version convert a 12G SDI signal to 3G SDI signal?

A: No, the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 12G with Power Supply does not support signal format conversion when looping the output, meaning SDI in to SDI out or HDMI in to HDMI out will not support resolution conversion.

Q: 3. Will this allow Raw codec recordings in Video Assist 12G HDR monitors? Connections would be BPMCC4K hdmi out to converter hdmi in- Converter SDI out to Video Assist SDI in. The VA will only record RAW format from an SDI signal, which is why I need a converter. Thanks to anyone who replies.

A: That is not possible. We are not aware of any converter that will turn a standard HDMI output to a RAW signal through SDI.

Q: 4. I am trying to run the HDMI output from a Sony CX405 handheld camera to this BM HDMI to SDI 3G converter - then into a BM HyperDeck Studio Mini. The HyperDeck Mini is not recognizing the SDI out of the converter- but the output from the camera does display on a TV. Do I need to adjust settings on the camera?

A: We would suggest starting with a software update on the following converter. This should allow the unit to be recognized and push a signal through. If this does not work we suggest getting in contact with Black Magic support team directly.

Q: 5. Can you use this on a RED Komodo to connect it to an Atem Mini? The Komodo is a 12g SDI and the micro Converter is 3g. Will this cause any damage or loss to image quality when I stream?

A: Yes, you can use the Blackmagic Micro Converter to connect to an ATEM Mini. The Blackmagic ATEM Mini down-converts to 1080p anyway so resolution will be scaled by default.

Q: 6. Does this support Dolby Vision?

A: No, The Blackmagic Design Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 12G will not support Dolby Vision. However, The following converters will from AJA https://bhpho.to/3FvWR2R or https://bhpho.to/3I80JZi

Q: 7. Has anyone tried using this to convert the signal from a Red Komodo to DJI's Eagle Eye wireless transmitter on the Ronin S2?

A: While in theory this would work fine to turn an SDI signal out of the Red Komodo in to HDMI we are not aware of any specific tests on it or how it could be rigged up to the Ronin RS-2.

Q: 8. Can this be used to improve the latency on an external monitor caused by using a camera with HDMI only outputs, such as the GH5?

A: No, this converter will not help improve the latency.

Q: 9. Hi - confirming that this can operate as a go-between for live camera SDI output to the ATEM mini pro video switcher? Thank you!

A: Yes.

Q: 10. Can this be used with the FX6 to send a RAW signal from its SDI to a Ninja V recorder HDMI input?

A: It cannot. This will not process a RAW signal. There is no converter like this which would work for this function. You will need the Shogun 7 which processes a RAW SDI signal for use with the FX6.
