So here is BMD official stance....
Thank you for contacting us. In this case, the most likely cause of this behavior would be the EDID negotiations between the Blackmagic converters and these generic ones. All of our products with HDMI ports perform some type of EDID negotiation with the sources and destinations they are connected to. Once of the main reasons for this is to ensure that the HDMI signal is compliant with all copyright laws that our devices are required to follow. It is most likely possible that these generic converters are handling this process differently from the industry standards that our products adhere to, which could cause them to have trouble outputting a signal in this workflow. Given this information, I would not recommend using these generic converters in the same signal path as the Micro Converters, in order to avoid these differences in the EDID negotiations.
Just FYI for everyone out there
