Blackmagic Design Mini Converter UpDownCross HD (BM-CONVMUDCSTD/HD)

This solved my video production camera compatibility issues for me. Though the configurations on the converter might be old, the installer has a more accurate instruction manual in pdf that has the various combinations for the desired output. If you are into video production, this will save your life and time. This is my second purchase.

I need this chiefly because BMD vision mixers tend to require every input to be the same resolution and frame rate. Unhelpful vision mixers! Having said that, this will help with one camera input, or one PC input. We have all cameras set to 1080i at 50 fps ("1080 i 50") but recently purchased two cameras at 1080 i 59.94 along with a cheap BMD mixer. Their Mini mixer outputs at 1080 p 50 and will need conversion to augment inputs to the main mixer. So the UpDownCross is useful. Our PC hasn't got a 1080 i 50 setting available (cheaper graphics card) and as graphics cards are so expensive just now, this might provide an alternative way forwards.

Great product!
