In the constant search for products which can meet the rigorous demands of daily production use, one new tool will quickly become a necessity for your HDSLR shooting configuration… the HDMI-SDI-01 from ikan. Serving as a converter box for an HDMI signal, the HDMI-SDI-01 can run off of 9-24 volts of power, providing a solution that can utilize DV or Pro batteries… you choose. Once you have power and an HDMI signal, the converter will output an HD-SDI signal across two separate lines, allowing for longer runs of industry-standard cable and a smoother workflow for on-set use. The sturdy aluminum structure comes complete with a mounting bracket, allowing for secure attachment to the ikan Elements 15mm accessory mounts or any other 15mm rod-based system. Because the HDMI-SDI-01 can be powered by either DV or Pro battery systems, you can choose where and how to connect a battery solution.
