Blackmagic Design today announced the return of its popular line of 3G Mini Converters at the new lower price of US$195.
The 3G Mini Converters can convert between all SD and HD formats and frame rates, and feature 3G-SDI technology that makes them compatible with all existing SD and HD equipment. These proven and reliable Mini Converters are perfect for SD and HD facilities and include powerful features such as redundant SDI inputs, AES and Balanced Analog Audio, upgradability via USB and some models include down conversion for working with HD on SD equipment.
Since these 3G-SDI models of Mini Converters were replaced by Blackmagic Design's 6G-SDI range of Ultra HD Mini Converters for the same price, customers have been able to get the latest Ultra HD technology at no extra cost. Since that time, Blackmagic Design has been working with its supply chain to reduce component costs and this has resulted in the older models being reintroduced at a price $100 less than they previously sold at and for the audio models $300 less than the previous price. This means all these 3G-SDI Mini Converters now have a whole new life at a much more affordable US$195 price point.
New 3G Mini Converter Model Summary
