Our verdict

A small embedder for adding mixer or deck sound to a video signal. It suits broadcast and production workflows, not consumer audio setups.

Overview

Not a general audio interface, this Blackmagic Design mini converter embeds audio into an SDI signal. It accepts analog or AES/EBU digital audio and works with professional video equipment that has SDI connections.

Buy it to bring audio from mixers or analog decks into an SDI path, or to add channels on top of a video converter. The limitation is its narrow role: it only embeds audio and the listing does not describe the other connectors or power input.

Who it's for

Broadcast and live production crews who work with SDI routers and decks will see a clear use. Home users and anyone without SDI equipment should look at a different kind of converter.

Performance notes

The converter takes audio from sources such as mixers and analog decks and embeds it into the SDI stream so a single connection carries both. It can also add audio channels to video converters. The USB interface appears in the spec list, but its function is never described.
