Does the job, no scaling

They work if you don't need a scaler. You can get the DECIMATOR MD-HX miniature HDMI/SDI cross converter with upscaling and frame rate conversion for the same price, and it has a scaler.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • I don't have much to complain about, it's ok

Reliable product, very professional

Amazing product that works right out of the box. Comes with all the power connections you need to use the thing anywhere in the world. Just a solid product. Used with a 125ft SDI cable and the video quality is impeccable.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Fits

Great device, sound needs an overhaul

Bought this for my dad before, still works great, expect it to last as long. The only problem with this device is the volume. This seems to muffle it, so you end up with lower volume levels on the digital side.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not sure

Expensive but works well with all inputs I've tried

One of the most expensive converters but everything works with this device. Tried multiple input sources with no problems. Even the dreadful Chromecast converts correctly. (Many other devices I've tried don't handle this properly.)

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Update available

Better than our previous HDMI to SDI converter

I bought this to replace a cheaper converter and our church AV team is very impressed with the quality. We use it with a 22,000 lumen Barco projector and this converter delivers the brightness of the colors coming from our MacPro. Very impressed and would not hesitate to buy again or recommend to anyone.

Pros
  • , good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was some

Compatibility issues with some Samsung TVs

Compatibility issues with some Samsung TVs. Bought 4 new TVs. Two 2015 models and two 2016 models. Didn't work on 2014 models. Used the $400 Aja converters and they worked. Used cheap $100 mono value converters and they worked. Went with $100 converters. Support was of little help. I found other people with the same problem in the forum.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • No automatic

does not work for audio/video accessories

I love every Blackmagic device I own except this one. I tried to convert 1080i from my Panasonic camcorder but it didn't work, no picture at all. I've tried downgrading and upgrading branded cables but no luck, thanks to AMAZON they got my money back and I added $50 and bought AJA HA5 HDMI to SD / HD-SDI video and audio http://www. amazon.com/gp/product /B0030D425S/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_7 it's just plug and play WALLA amazing crystal crystal

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't know yet

Blackmagic Common Device

I use one of these to direct computer output to an HD-SDI video network for various production needs. As usual, these Blackmagic boxes work without fuss or fuss, and the price is right. When connected to a computer's HDMI or DP port, it appears as a display device in all major SDI/HD-SDI video resolutions (480p, 720p). , etc.). Set up your computer for your production resolution and off you go. The only downside I've found with the Mini Converter series is that they have a habit of getting into

Pros
  • Solid Finish
Cons
  • Damaged
