The Hi5-4K Mini-Converter allows easy monitoring from professional 4K devices with four 3G-SDI outputs on new 4K displays equipped with 4K-capable 1.4a HDMI inputs. The device is also suitable for converting 3G/HD-SDI to HDMI. 

The ROI Mini-Converter allows conversion and real-time scaling of monitor DVI-D and HDMI outputs to SDI. The manufacturer particularly highlights the audio functionality, scalability and friendly UI.

The manufacturer lists the Hi5-4K at just under 600 US dollars and the ROI at around 1,000 US dollars.
