HDSLR cameras come with a standard HDMI output; however, many shooters would like to be able to use their production monitors, which have an HD-SDI inputs. So we have come up with a solution by pairing a BlackMagic Design HDMI to SDI Mini Converter with a Nebtek LIBA2.5 Battery Adapter for 7.2V Lithium Ion batteries, which takes the 7.2V of small camcorder batteries and bumps it up to 12V. (Note: The BlackMagic box cannot be used with a regular 14.4V battery as the converter can only handle up to 15v and when fully-charged, these batteries can surpass 18V.) Although there are many options for mounting this unit on the camera, we have found that the Zacuto Zotshoe works extremely well, so we have included one in this kit.
Please specify battery mount (Panasonic or Sony L) when ordering.
When using a Canon 5D Mark II the firmware must be upgraded to 1.6.1 Utility Software. Please visit our blog for important information before purchasing this product.
*Please note: Assembly as shown will void Blackmagic's three-year warranty against defects in material & workmanship .
