I'm using my laptop set to HDMI output 1920x1080.
My laptop has a DisplayPort connector and I'm using an adapter to go to HDMI.
Going into the converter.
Converter is powered using the USB port of my PC. The power light comes on.
Going into an SDI input on a Sony MCS-8M switcher.
Switcher is set to 1080-59.
The laptop "sees" the Converter when connected via HDMI.
I downloaded the Converters setup program and updated the firmware.
The software "sees" the converter when connected via USB.
I am getting no SDI output from the converter to my switcher.
I need help!
This unit belongs to my job and is not currently being used, so it is not impacting anything there.
The problem is that I have directed my church to purchase 15 of these MicroConverters (Both HDMI-SDI and SDI-HDMI) to upgrade our system, as part of a $15,000 purchase of mostly BMD equipment. I need to know these will work, or I will have to replace them with something else, blow out my budget, extend the timeline, and look like a fool.
Perhaps this is a bad unit, but How would I know? Has anyone else had this problem?
