5. セットアップ

Follow these steps to set up your Mini Converter:

1. 接続電源： Connect the included universal power supply to the converter's DC input and then to a power outlet. The converter will power on automatically.
2. Connect SDI Input: Connect your SDI source (e.g., camera, router, video deck) to the SDI IN port on the converter using a high-quality SDI cable. If using redundant input, connect a second SDI source to the SDI IN (Redundant) port.
3. Connect Analog Video Output: Connect the analog video output ports (Component Y, B-Y, R-Y, or Composite/S-Video) to your analog display or recording device. Ensure the correct cable type (e.g., RCA for composite, BNC for component) is used.
4. アナログオーディオ出力を接続します。 If needed, connect the 1/4" TRS jacks for balanced analog audio output to your audio mixer or monitoring system.
5. Connect AES/EBU Audio Output: If needed, connect the 1/4" TRS jacks for balanced digital audio output to your AES/EBU compatible equipment.
6. 設定を構成します（必要な場合）： The Mini Converter features built-in mini switches for quick configuration. Refer to the diagram printed on the back of the unit for specific pin settings to adjust output formats or other parameters. Most common settings are automatically detected.

6.運用

The Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI to Analog 4K is designed for ease of use with automatic detection features.

• Automatic Input Detection: The converter automatically detects the incoming SD, HD, 3G, or 6G-SDI video format.
• Down Conversion: When an Ultra HD (6G-SDI) signal is input, the built-in down converter can automatically scale the video to SD or HD component, NTSC, or PAL formats as configured by the mini switches.
• オーディオ処理: Embedded SDI audio is automatically de-embedded and output through the analog and AES/EBU audio ports.
• Redundant Input: If the main SDI input signal is lost, the converter will automatically switch to the redundant SDI input, if connected, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

7. メンテナンス

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your converter.

• クリーニング： 本体の外装を清掃する際は、柔らかく乾いた布をご使用ください。液体クリーナーやエアゾールは使用しないでください。
• 換気： Regularly check that the ventilation holes are clear of dust and debris.
• ストレージ： When not in use for extended periods, store the converter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8。 トラブルシューティング

If you encounter issues with your Mini Converter, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• ビデオ出力なし:
  • すべてのケーブルがしっかりと接続されていることを確認してください。
  • Verify the SDI input signal is active and compatible.
  • Check the analog output format settings using the mini switches on the converter to match your display device.
  • Confirm your display device is set to the correct input.
• Incorrect Video Format/Resolution:
  • Adjust the mini switch settings to select the desired output format (e.g., NTSC, PAL, HD component).
  • Ensure the input SDI signal is within the supported range for down conversion if applicable.
• オーディオ出力なし:
  • オーディオケーブルの接続を確認してください。
  • Verify that the SDI input signal contains embedded audio.
  • Ensure your audio receiving device is correctly configured and powered.
