The Plugin Alliance Creative Analog - Analog Processors Plug-In Bundlefrom Plugin Alliance Creative Analog - Analog Processors Plug-In Bundleis a native based plug-in that closely emulates the company's hardware creative compressor. The original's all discrete circuitry and special characters have been translated into software in great detail, delivering a universal compressor as well as a dynamic effects machine.

Functions include Auto Fast that makes life easy even on longer attack settings and the Anti Log feature offers an alternative release curve that can be engaged for instant pumping effects. In addition to standard ratios, the plug-in also provides negative values.

The gain reduction limiter regulates the virtual control voltage and keeps even the most extreme settings under control and the additional filter is a perfect for changing the sound character of the compressed signal. An external sidechain input adds further flexibility.

All the major plug-in formats are supported for both 32- and 64-bit operating systems.

Software emulation of the company's hardware compressor

Switchable Auto Fast semi automation always provides perfect attack and release times based on the values set by the user, even with complex material

Anti Log provides an alternative release curve that follows an antilogarithmic course instead of the standard linear progress, and produces a much more audible effect such as pumping

Negative ratios can produce heavy pumping, backward sounds, plus other interesting compression effects

Niveau Filter specializes in shaping the tonal characteristics of a track very effectively with very fine nuances

On-board, frequency selective sidechain filter

Gain reduction limiter

Mousewheel support for setting parameters

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I have a Marshall CV226 3G SDI camera and a analog DVR. Will this convert it into a usable format for the DVR?

A: In a format of 59.94p, 1080p, the Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI to Analog will convert such a signal to an analog NTSC signal, which should then be accepted by an NTSC compatible analog DVR.

Q: 2. Can you add a delay to the audio to match/sync to video latency that may be present?

A: There really isn't a need for an audio delay, as the unit has a fairly powerful reclocking option.

Q: 3. Is the "SDI loop out" completely clean to feed a separate down converter to 1080?

A: I’m pretty sure it is. But I think you might want to look at a Decimator MD-HX. It has scaling and dual outputs.

Q: 4. is this product made in China?

A: As others have said, it is made in China.

Q: 5. Does the BM Mini Converter SDI to Analog pass close captioning or strip it from the signal?

A: The digital closed captioning will be removed. If there is captioning in the active video in the SDI, it will remain in the active video of the analog.

Q: 6. What is the image quality like converting HD-SDI to HD Component? Are there any artifacts or a loss of resolution? I have an HD CRT that I'd like to use, but it only has analog HD inputs. Cheers!

A: HD-SDI Digital HD was a step up in image quality over Component Analog HD. So in a critical analysis, yes, you will see a slight difference. But for casual use, there is no loss in quality to the degree that it would interfere with your use or enjoyment of your CRT display. After all, it was what we had for years and were quite happy with it.

Q: 7. How does it connect with the Apple Pro Display XDR? Thank you.

A: It won't work with it. It takes the input of 4 12G-SDI signals and convert to 4 HDMI 2.0 signals.

Q: 8. Am I able to split a 4K signal into 4 1080p quadrants for a video wall application? (Similar to the Datapath FX4)

A: Yes, you could use the Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini 12G-SDI to Quad SDI Converter for a video wall setup.

Q: 9. Can I connect my atem to this and send vga out to existing projector signal ?

A: This device will give you an analog composite or an RGB component output. We use this converter to feed the component input of our projector and it works great. If you only have a VGA input on your projector, you will need to convert the component signal to VGA before you can use it on your projector.

Q: 10. Would this allow the SDI output from the Blackmagic talkback converter to interface over XLR to other intercom systems?

A: You can extract the Talkback audio in SDI 15/16 with this converter.
