Hello. I am a novice trying to learn. When purchasing the equipment I chose, I thought I did enough research and asked all the questions I could think of. Everything looked good on paper, but I still expected roadblocks. I've encountered one early in the game and hoping someone can help.
My setup includes an ATEM Television Studio. I have two sources, a Panasonic HMC150 and a PC. I followed the manual's setup instructions but am receiving no signal from either source. In the very least, I expected the camera to show up. According to its manual, HDMI outputs 1080i60. So that should immediately show up on the Studio, right? I have the settings tab to be the default 1080i5994. I've read a couple other forums where owners of this camera are using it with the Studio so it must work somehow. I do have control of the software via ethernet cable; just don't see my camera.
Second source: PC. I figured I'd have issues with this one. I bought a VGA to HDMI converter. Probably not the way to go, in hindsight. I will not be able to change my monitor's resolution (that is going to the switcher) to 1920x1080. Because I'm also outputting to a projector, I have to leave it at 1024x768. So if I understand correctly, the Studio cannot accept that signal via HDMI. Correct? Would some kind of analog to SDI converter do the trick? If so, what specific product recommendation?
I appreciate anyone's help with my two issues.
