The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
The Blackmagic Design 002768 carries the same professional pedigree as other converters in the Blackmagic lineup at a similar $405 price point. The device weighs 1.2 lb, suggesting a slightly larger or more feature-rich form factor than the ultra-compact 002775 sibling. Blackmagic's reputation in broadcast and production circles is well established, and that context drives most of these purchases.
Pros
- Trusted Blackmagic Design brand name in professional video
- 4.6 rating from buyers who purchased it
- At 1.2 lb it is still light enough for easy placement in a production setup
Cons
- Only 6 reviews, providing very limited buyer confidence data
- $405 price is suited only to professional buyers
- No connectivity or HDMI port specs listed to differentiate from other models
Performance notes
With no resolution, connectivity, or port count listed in the available specs, it is not possible to detail specific signal performance. The 1.2 lb weight is consistent with Blackmagic's mini converter product line, which typically handles SDI, HDMI, and analog bridging in compact housings.
What buyers say
Six reviews is a very small sample. The 4.6 average suggests the few buyers who purchased it are satisfied, likely because they knew exactly what professional function they needed and this unit delivered it.

Frequently asked questions
What makes the Blackmagic Design 002768 different from the 002775?
Based on available spec data the 002768 weighs 1.2 lb versus 0.47 lb for the 002775, suggesting a different internal design or feature set. Without listed connectivity details it is difficult to pinpoint the exact difference, so checking the Blackmagic Design product pages for each model number before buying is strongly recommended.
Can I use this converter for a home media room?
Technically possible in some configurations, but at $405 it is significantly overpriced for home use. Standard consumer HDMI splitters from brands like Orei or J-Tech Digital handle most home scenarios at a fraction of the cost. This unit makes most sense on a professional production set or in a broadcast facility.
