Gary,
Thank you for your input.
I will try to connect the Sony Composite output to a monitor to see if it reflect the PGM running, that PGM can be Internal to the switcher, or PC or event cameras connected to the Inputs interfaces of the switcher.
Another test I've is to have the Video from a camera using the video RCA connection directly to the Mini recorder,( bypassing the switcher) and I cannot get a signal, but if I change the input to be HDMI from the camera and also from the BMD desktop utility, then I get a perfect signal.
P.S: once using the composite RCA cable I also use an adapter RCA-to-coax to allow the connector to fit the SI port of the mini recorder.
Thanks

While I am not familiar with the Sony switcher, I see from your picture you are connecting a Composite output to the Analog to SDI which is correct. What we do not know is if the Composite output is working. Do you have a monitor that you can connect this signal directly to see if it is outputting? What signal are you feeding through the switcher? Something like color bars for testing? If you have a composite source other than the switcher can you feed that directly to the converter? Thinks to note that the signal going into the Analog to SDI converter must be a standard broadcast composite signal and it must be stable, meaning no VHS or Beta machines connected directly.
