Out of your 3 devices, the camera is the most likely to work. Of the 3 resolutions the A7S can output, the Mini Recorder only works with one of them 1080i60. However, it's very common that when a manufacturer says 1080i60, they actually mean 1080i59.94. So set your camera to that output format.
First things first, go into your computer's control panels (or System Settings, etc) and make sure the Blackmagic control panel is seeing the card (the name of the specific card should appear at the top), and of course make sure the input setting is set to HDMI, etc). If it says "no capture card detected" or similar then there may be a resource conflict on your computer.
Next, open Media Express and under the Device menu, make sure you see your card listed there and that it is selected.
Finally, open Media Express preferences and change between 1080i59.94 and 1080i60 and see if your camera preview shows up under the Log and Capture tab.
