Late reply, but I've always had this issue with my miniRecorders, i now own two, and I bet it's this issue where they default to accepting the SDI input not the HDMI input. It's a total time waster for me and sometimes in the pressure of a live broadcast and the signal has dropped and caused the miniRecord to switch to SDI I mistakenly think my HDMI lead has failed or something else. Really annoying and can cost you a tonne of time when you dont have it.
The (temporary) fix is to open BlackMagic Desktop Video Setup (on macOS it's called that) either the app itself or via the System Preferences settings panel which causes it to open the BMD DV app and there you can see you BMD devices, and what settings they are on like input source (i.e. HDMI or SDI), framerate etc. Click on the icon in the middle of screen and you can change to HDMI from SDI.
