Neither SDI outputs video, although my Blackmagic SSD recorder (which uses the rear SDI in and out) does work.
Update: I just tried it again and the rear SDI does work with the new Micro Converter, but not the original one. I'm wondering if there was a problem with the first converter that killed the SDI terminal, or if the SDI died on its own and killed the converter in the process. Either way, here's what I know so far:
I bought the camera new, and everything worked. I bought a Micro Converter SDI to HDMI which worked perfectly out of the front SDI with the SSD recorder using the 2 rear SDI I/Os. Suddenly the monitor died on set, and neither the front SDI nor the original converter worked since (the original SDI converter does not work on front or rear SDI ports.) I bought a new converter, which works only on the rear output. The front is completely dead.
