Professional capture over HDMI and 12G-SDI
Mini Recorder 12G brings video from cameras, switchers, decks and game consoles into an editing or streaming computer. It includes HDMI 2.0, a 12G-SDI input and an SDI loop output.
Capture for streaming and post-production
The interface works with applications supported by Blackmagic Desktop Video, including Media Express and professional editing or streaming tools. HDMI also accepts common consumer sources.
12G-SDI with loop output
The professional SDI input handles data rates from SD through 12G. Its loop output sends the same signal onward to another device or monitor.
