Blackmagic Design Fairlight HDMI Monitor Interface

Use your own HDMI or SDI monitors with a Fairlight console chassis to get instant graphic feedback for all channels. Build custom Fairlight audio consoles with amazing live audio status display using any monitor or TV!

If you are using the Fairlight Console components in your own custom desk with HDMI monitors, you can use Fairlight HDMI Monitor Interface to generate the graphical feedback from Fairlight Console Channel Control! This compact converter can be placed discretely on the back of your HDMI monitor and converts the Fairlight console ethernet data to HDMI. You get instant graphic feedback for the channel control status just as you would with the Fairlight Console LCD Monitor! The interface input can also be switched to SDI so you can see the talent up close for checking lip sync while editing, and an SDI output that mirrors the HDMI output lets you connect the interface to a remote SDI monitor!
