Mini Converter - Sync Generator

The Blackmagic Mini Converter Sync Generator (model CONVMSYNC) is a master reference and sync source generator by Blackmagic Design, built for broadcast studios, live-stream switcher rooms, and outside broadcast (OB) crews in Bangladesh. It delivers 6 crystal-stabilized BNC reference outputs that lock every camera, switcher, and recorder in your facility to one common house reference. Both high-definition Tri-Sync HD and standard-definition Blackburst SD television standards are supported from a single compact unit powered by +12V DC.

Key Specifications

What's in the Box

• 1 × Blackmagic Mini Converter Sync Generator unit
• 1 × 12V universal power supply with international socket adapters
• Product documentation

Connections — Rear and Front Panel

The Mini Converter Sync Generator carries six BNC reference outputs (labelled REF OUT, three on each side of the chassis) plus a single +12V DC power input. There are no signal inputs — the unit generates its own crystal-stabilized reference internally, so it sits at the head of your sync chain. Feed each REF OUT to the reference input of a camera, switcher, recorder or monitor that needs to be locked to house sync.

Who It's For — Use Cases in Bangladesh

• Small broadcast studios locking 3-6 cameras to a single house reference for clean live cuts.
• Outside broadcast (OB) and event crews running multi-camera shoots that need frame-accurate switching.
• Wedding and event videographers in Dhaka shooting multi-cam who want drift-free angles in the edit.
• Live-stream switcher rooms feeding reference to an ATEM 1 M/E Constellation HD or similar switcher and a HyperDeck Studio HD Pro recorder.

How to Set Up Genlock and Sync

Step 1 — Power and place the generator

Connect the included 12V universal power supply and position the unit at the head of your signal chain. Because it has no inputs, it does not matter where it sits physically — only that every reference output reaches the gear you want to lock.

Step 2 — Choose your reference standard

Select Tri-Sync for HD productions (720p / 1080i / 1080p facilities) or Blackburst for legacy standard-definition workflows. Match the standard to the format your switcher and cameras are running so every device reads the same timing.

Step 3 — Distribute the reference

Run a BNC cable from each REF OUT to the genlock / reference input of each device — cameras, your switcher, your recorder and your monitoring. Once locked, all sources share one timing reference and your cuts become frame-accurate. To monitor every locked feed at once, pair it with a MultiView 16 multiviewer.

Tri-Sync vs Blackburst — Which Reference to Use

Most current Bangladeshi studios run HD, so Tri-Sync is the everyday choice. Blackburst remains useful if you maintain older SD equipment or need backward compatibility across a mixed facility. Because this single unit supports both, you are future-proofed either way. If you also need to convert SDI to analog within the same chain, see the Mini Converter SDI to Analog; for up/down/cross conversion, the Mini Converter UpDownCross HD sits alongside it well.

Care and Storage

• Keep the unit dust-free and store it in a dry place; in humid Dhaka conditions, use silica gel in the storage case.
• Use only the supplied 12V power adapter to avoid voltage damage.
• Secure BNC connectors fully so reference feeds stay stable during long live productions.
• Avoid stacking heavy gear on the compact chassis; it weighs only ~240 g and is not a load-bearing unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Blackmagic sync generator used for?

It generates a single crystal-stabilized video reference so every camera, switcher and recorder in a studio locks to the same timing. This prevents frame drift and glitchy cuts during multi-camera and live production — it is the timing backbone of a synchronized facility.

How many reference outputs does the Blackmagic sync generator have?

Six. The unit provides 6 × BNC reference outputs (REF OUT), letting you feed house sync to several devices directly without a separate distribution amplifier for typical small-studio and OB setups.

Does it support both Tri-Sync and Blackburst?

Yes. The Mini Converter Sync Generator outputs high-definition Tri-Sync (tri-level) reference for HD workflows and standard-definition Blackburst for SD workflows, so it covers both HD and SD facilities from one box.

How do I set the format / dip switch settings on the sync generator?

Select your reference standard to match the format your switcher and cameras run — Tri-Sync for HD (720p / 1080i / 1080p) or Blackburst for SD. Set the standard before distributing the reference so every locked device reads the same timing.

Can it genlock an ATEM switcher and multiple cameras?

Yes. Feed one REF OUT to your switcher's reference input and the others to each camera and recorder. With six outputs you can lock a small studio or OB rack — for example an ATEM 1 M/E Constellation HD plus several cameras and a HyperDeck Studio HD Pro — to one house reference.

Does the Blackmagic sync generator include a power supply?

Yes. The box includes a 12V universal power supply with international socket adapters, so it is ready to run on Bangladeshi mains out of the box. The unit draws roughly 3 W.
