unique redundant SDI input for mission critical or live broadcast tasks. Simply
connect a redundant cable to the second input and if the main SDI input is lost,
Blackmagic OpenGear Converters will automatically switch over in an instant. A
loop-through SDI output is also provided for connecting to other devices. You can
also loop to other Blackmagic OpenGear Converters when de-embedding more
audio channels.

Easy to Use

Blackmagic OpenGear Converters are similar, so they're easy to understand. With
advanced 3 Gb/s SDI technology, every card is fully compatible with all your SD and
HD equipment, plus you can update new formats via USB. Blackmagic OpenGear
Converters can be set up via mini switches, DashBoard, or via USB using Blackmagic
Design's Converter Utility. That's three completely different ways to configure, so
you're never stuck in a critical live situation.
