Hi,

I just set up a Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter icw the Ursa Broadcast.
When i try to put audio on the 25 pin interface connector on pin 14,15,16 (balanced from a Sonifex intercom unit), i can't hear the audio on the headset output on the Camera Fiber Converter (switch set to Prod)

What i am doing wrong?

You need to feed return video to the camera.. Without video it won't embed the intercom audio channels! ;)

Also be sure the fiber converter runs te latest firmware version.. As it wasn't able in previous firmware versions.

Thanks Daniel,

Yes i send video return to the camera (return 1)...and yes...i update the converters to the latest (Blackmagic Camera 5.1.1)...but still no luck.

Can you confirm that pin 14,15,16 are correct?

Jurgen

I also would like some instruction on hooking up a BMD Ursa Broadcast & Studio Fiber Converter to a ClearCom intercom system. Where can I get instructions from BMD on how I need to go about doing this & what equipment I'll need to purchase? I've read that there are some pretty MAJOR problems with feedback, has BMD done anything about this?
