Black Box 3G-SDI/HD-SDI to HDMI Converter

The Black Box VSC-SDI-HDMI is a signal converter that lets you bring professional 3G-SDI or HD-SDI video into any display or projector that accepts HDMI. It takes the serial digital interface that broadcasters rely on, translates it without loss, and outputs a picture that can reach up to 1080p at 60 frames per second.

Use it when you need to preview camera feeds on an affordable television, feed a video wall at a live event, or add a confidence monitor in a studio. The unit passes through up to eight channels of embedded audio, so you hear the same multi-channel mix that rides on the SDI cable, including Dolby TrueHD when present.

Cable equalization and reclocking keep the picture stable on long SDI runs. For Standard Definition signals, the converter can handle cable lengths as long as 1000 feet, which is well beyond the reach of HDMI alone. An SDI loop-through output lets you send the untouched signal to additional gear such as recorders, switchers, or another monitor.

The housing saves space, fits easily behind a screen, and includes mounting points so you can place it on a wall, under a desk, or inside a rack shelf. Installation is straightforward: connect the SDI source, run an HDMI cable to your display, and apply power—no menus or configuration steps are required.

Whether you work in a post-production suite, a mobile production truck, a house of worship, or a security command center, this converter offers a simple way to bridge the gap between professional SDI infrastructure and everyday HDMI displays.
