What is the power consumption of the device?

The typical power consumption is 5 W. It operates on a 36V DC input via an external power adapter.

How does the automatic audio delay work?

The converter automatically detects the video conversion process and introduces a delay to the embedded audio to ensure it remains synchronized with the video signal.

It supports Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra, 10.13 High Sierra, 10.14 Mojave, and Windows 10, Windows 8.1.

Does it include all necessary cables?

Troubleshooting

No video output

Ensure all SDI/HDMI cables are securely connected to both the input and output ports. Verify the power adapter is connected and the device is powered on. Check that the input signal is within supported SD/HD formats and that the source device is outputting a signal.

Audio and video are out of sync

The Mini Converter UpDownCross HD features automatic audio delay. If sync issues persist, check the audio settings on your source and destination devices. Ensure no additional audio delays are applied elsewhere in your signal chain.

Incorrect resolution or frame rate displayed

Verify that the input signal is being correctly detected. Use the configuration software if available to set specific output formats. Ensure your display or receiving device supports the output resolution and frame rate.

Device not detected by software

Confirm the device is powered on and connected via appropriate interface. Ensure you are using compatible operating system versions (macOS 10.12+ or Windows 10/8.1) and have installed the latest Blackmagic Design drivers and software.
