Blackmagic Design Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G (with PSU)

The Blackmagic Design Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G is a compact, broadcast-quality tool that effectively acts as two converters in one. It can convert SDI to HDMI and HDMI to SDI simultaneously, even if the two signals are in different video standards.

This model is limited to 3G-SDI, meaning it supports resolutions up to 1080p60 and DCI 2K60. The "with PSU" bundle includes a universal 100-240V AC power supply with international socket adapters.


Core Functionality

  • Dual-Direction Conversion: You can convert an HDMI laptop or camera feed to SDI for a switcher while simultaneously converting an SDI return feed to HDMI for an on-set monitor.

  • Camera Control & Tally: This is the converter's standout feature for live production. It translates Blackmagic’s SDI camera control protocol into HDMI. This allows you to use a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (4K, 6K, or 6K Pro) with a professional SDI switcher (like an ATEM Constellation) while maintaining remote control of iris, focus, color grading, and Tally.

  • SDI Re-clocking: The 3G-SDI output includes built-in re-clocking, which regenerates the signal to reduce jitter. This ensures high signal integrity and allows for longer SDI cable runs without data loss.

  • 3D LUT Support: The unit includes a 17-point 3D LUT engine. You can apply custom color calibrations or "looks" to the HDMI output, which is essential when using consumer-grade TVs as professional monitors on set.


Key Features

  • USB-C Powering: While this version includes an AC power supply, the unit is powered via USB-C. This allows you to power it from a monitor’s USB port, a laptop, or a portable battery bank.

  • Timecode Support: It preserves and converts timecode between HDMI and SDI, ensuring that all your devices remain in perfect sync for multi-cam editing later.

  • Rugged Metal Design: Built with a durable metal chassis that acts as a heat sink, ensuring the electronics stay cool during continuous 24/7 broadcast operation.

  • Automatic Standard Detection: The converter automatically detects the input video standard and sets the output to match, making it a "plug-and-play" device.

Operational Insight

In 2026, the BiDirectional 3G is the "bridge" of choice for HD productions. It is particularly popular because if you only have one input connected (e.g., just HDMI in), both the HDMI and SDI outputs function as loop outputs. This allows you to split your signal to an SDI switcher and an HDMI monitor simultaneously using just one small box.

Pro Tip: Use the Blackmagic Converter Setup utility via USB-C to switch between SDI Level A and Level B. If your signal looks "scrambled" or is not appearing on an older SDI monitor, toggling this setting usually fixes the handshake issue immediately.

Inkjets have come a long way
Pattern Name: Printer, Style: ET-15000
Just a lot to like about this printer and nothing I don't like. Very capable for the price. I do mostly black and white printing, rarely print photos. (This will supposedly do a credible job of photo printing too but I haven't tried it). If you want professional caliber photo printing, you probably want the Epson 8550 which is similar to this, a bit more expensive, but does 6 color printing. If you are doing more like every day business printing the 15000 might be a better choice because it's built more for speed. The tank system means I can just replace the black because I use it a lot. The black ink tank is double size of the others and based on my experience so far, I think I'll easily get over a thousand pages on the standard-vivid setting which is very strong black but still relatively high speed printing. Given that the black ink bottles are under $30 I think the cost per page will be comparable to laser. The booklet/pamphlet printing can be complicated to work out with layers of PDF software and the Epson printer driver. But once you work it through, it's super capable. I've printed a lot of 12 x 18 double-sided for booklets and the paper handling has been flawless. (It can duplex automatically for 8 1/2 x 11 but for other sizes you have to manually duplex, which you can do by printing back/front or even/odd.) It's not as fast as a laser printer but it's pretty fast -- inkjets have improved so much.

Perfect Printer for My Small Business
Pattern Name: Printer, Style: ET-15000
I purchased the Epson ET-15000 for my crafting and apparel business and have been very pleased with its performance. The print quality is excellent, colors are vibrant, and the large ink tanks help save money over time. It handles larger print sizes with ease and has become an essential part of my workspace.

Nice large format printer which is what I needed
Pattern Name: Printer, Style: ET-15000
I make stained glass panels and needed a printer that I could make larger copies with. I also wanted one that I could manipulate my images with. This was my best option and I love the Eco-Tank printers. After reading the reviews I made sure to add a couple years of additional warranty for my peace of mind. Finding 13 x 19 paper that was affordable was a tough challenge. I found a bunch on FB marketplace and bought everything they had to offer. This printer was very easy to set-up. I just followed the instructions and then followed what was on my computer screen. At first I thought I would have an issue connecting to Wi-Fi but when it failed on the computer, I was able to go to the printer and do it from the control panel - Easy peesey. I have used it several times since filling, charging, and installing and everything works as it should. My husband has an Eco-Tank printer and I've wanted one since he got his. I love that the ink will last a very long time and that it will be cost efficient. I am not overly interested in photo printing so this was the perfect choice for my needs. The print quality is fairly good when comparing it to my old Canon and e that there are several paper trays and ways to make copies, especially the automatic feed and the larger scanner bed.

document feeder not working on first real use.
Pattern Name: Printer, Style: ET-15000
Serious reliability issues and concerns. We have owned the printer for about 1 month and printed a limited amount. For the first time today I tried scanning with the document feeder. I was scanning about 12 pages that should of been 1 document. The first page scanned and then stopped. I started the scanner again and it scanned about 5 pages and then jammed. The rest of the pages were a constant jamming/not feeding fiasco. I would run to the computer and hit scan, then run to the printer and manually push on the paper as hard as i could without the paper bending. if I pushed just right i could get a few pages through without jamming. I ended up with about 6 pdf's instead of one document and constant jamming in the paper feeder. Frustrating from a brand new printer and the first time using the paper scanner. There is a clicking noise when it scans. a few of the pages fed properly but the rest had to be forced. No obvious obstructions or other issues. I tried cleaning the rollers with no success. Then attempted to reach out to Epson support. The only support option I could find was an email form that put me in a captia loop after entering all the information so I had to start over on the ticket submission. No chat support, no phone number, brand new higher priced printer with serious build/reliability issues. Frustrating.

This is a great printer. I love it.
Pattern Name: Printer, Style: ET-15000
I’ve been using the Epson ET‑15000 for custom chip bags and ran into a huge issue with my original paper choice. The printer itself is great, but the Koala 30 lb glossy paper did not play well with the black ink at all. Even after letting my prints sit for a full two days, the black areas would still smear and come off on my fingers as soon as I started folding and assembling the bags. It was super frustrating and made it hard to trust my prints for orders. I decided to try Eshang high gloss paper instead, and the difference has been night and day. With the same Epson ET‑15000 and the same designs, the Eshang paper works like a charm. The black ink dries quickly, doesn’t rub off when handled, and holds up beautifully while I’m folding and sealing my chip bags. Colors look vibrant, the finish is nice and glossy, and I don’t have to worry about smudging anymore. If you’re using an Epson EcoTank like the ET‑15000 and struggling with black ink smearing on Koala glossy, I highly recommend switching to Eshang high gloss. It completely solved the problem for me and made my chip bag printing so much easier and more professional.
