Nikon Z6ii - no audio thru HDMI

PostSun May 09, 2021 3:34 pm

Ok, I am clearly missing something.

z6ii, brand new, FTZ to 85/1.4
HMDI out to Ultrastudio Recorder 3G to Media Express
Mac mini (2018) i7 running 10.15.6.

Great video. No Audio through the HDMI.

Record to card audio works. Playback from card to HDMI TV audio works great.

What am I missing?

I'm getting the feeling this is either such a newbie question that no one is really motivated to help, or that it's an open secret and no one's ready to fess up.

I'm afraid I don't have an answer really except to say speaking as somebody who uses 4 Z6's for multicam it is definitely not a problem with the camera. Good luck.

I'm not using Media Express, but this looks like some setting missing ....

Did you do this:(page 53 of the manual: Installation and Operation Manual Desktop Video)

5 Set the desired number of audio channels to be captured.
V 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

I have no issue getting audio from the camera to my PixE recorder or the the ATEM Mini Pro via HDMI with the Z6 Camera. Per Hans, you have a setting issue somewhere in your software.
