[1.65 lb] PC/MAC VGA-BMD ATEM SDI BNC translator. This is exactly what I needed to integrate a PC output into the ATEM video mixer wanting 1080i. The key is the scanner/scaler and not just a media converter. Just wish the Syner-G tool could be run on a Mac which our studio is predominately composed of.

[3 W maximum] We are using it to convert from a VGA adaptor / DA to a Black Magic Design switcher for webcast. Used the builtin menu to configure - Black Magic switcher would not show output till we used a separate monitor with variable inputs.

[1.65 lb] I use seven of these to convert my IMAG production switcher HD/SDI output to HDMI/DVI input on projectors 550 feet away. The L.E.D. indicators are great for fast troubleshooting and signal confirmation. The dual re-clocked & EQ'ed SDI outputs make cascading the HD/SDI signal easy. Since it automatically adapts to the SDI input signal, I can switch between SD & HD formats seamlessly. I haven't needed to use the 3G SDI format yet but it's good to know it can handle that too.

[1.65 lb] This Elvid Video Converter is one of those tools that makes your production life so much easier. If you work with SDI equipment but need to integrate HDMI signals, this little guy is a lifesaver. I love how simple it is, just plug in your HDMI source, and boom, it converts the signal to two SDI outputs. Whether you're sending video to a monitor, switcher, or both, it gets the job done without any fuss.

For live events, studio work, or any situation where you need to convert from HDMI to SDI, it’s been super reliable. And the best part is, it supports up to 1080p60, so you're getting really crisp, broadcast-quality video. I’ve used it with my camera and even hooked it up to my computer when I needed to send video to an SDI workflow. It handles both like a pro.

One thing I really appreciate is how compact and sturdy it is. The metal body gives it that extra durability, so I don’t have to worry about it getting damaged when I’m transporting gear. And there is flexibility for power options. It comes with an AC adapter if you have access to a wall outlet. but can be also be powered from a computer or device with a 5V USB output. It’s great to have that choice depending on your setup.

Honestly, for anyone looking to bridge the gap between HDMI and SDI, this converter is a solid, hassle-free solution. It’s small, reliable, and just works. It's exactly what you need when you’re on the go or in the studio. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

[0.3 lb / 150 g] The Elvid 3G-SDI to HDMI Micro Video Converter is one of those pieces of gear you don’t realize you need until you do. It’s such a convenient tool for anyone working with SDI equipment but needing to connect to HDMI gear like monitors or computers. I’ve used it to convert SDI signals from a camera to my HDMI monitor, and it’s super easy...just plug in, and you're good to go. It has worked flawlessly for me.

What I appreciate most is how versatile it is. It supports up to 1080p60, so I’m getting crisp, broadcast-quality video every time. Plus, the SDI loop output is a fantastic bonus, letting me retain the option to still send out the signal SDI and not only HDMI. Whether you’re working with a 2nd monitor that is SDI or another SDI device, it keeps everything running smoothly.

The power options are also a nice plus. If I’m somewhere with an AC outlet, it comes with an adapter. Or I can run it off my computer’s USB port, or any other device with a 5V USB output It’s nice to have that flexibility, especially on location. And speaking of locations, the compact and durable metal design makes it super portable. I can toss it in my gear bag without worrying about it getting banged up. And I love that it has a little blue light to let you know it is receiving power and is on. That is good information to have, especially when on location.

For anyone dealing with both SDI and HDMI setups and gear, this little converter is a must-have. It’s reliable, compact, and makes switching between SDI and HDMI workflows a breeze. It’s been a handy addition to my kit for my productions. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

[3 W maximum] It outputs 3g (1080p @ 60) intergraded well with our blackmagic production system allowing us to bring analog VGA and Hdmi to to a 3G HDSDI work follow Good product

[3 W maximum] It is a great product and very user friendly

[1.65 lb] Works for me getting a good signal from vga projectors into my livestream software.

[1.65 lb] Used these devices to successfully convert SDI content from a Blackmagic ATEM switcher to several HDMI displays. Initial use of Blackmagic SDI/HDMI converters was not successful because the Blackmagic device did not convert the 59.94Hz refresh rate to 60Hz. The Gefen Scaler/Converter is able to do this. One note: You MUST change the Blackmagic ATEM to Level A output from its default Level B. This is on the General Configuration tab.
