Can Mini Converter HDMI to SDI be used w/o video in signal?

PostFri Oct 22, 2021 9:42 am

I need to send audio into ATEM mini switcher via HDMI input. Is it possible to use "Mini Converter HDMI to SDI 6G"+"MC SDI to HDMI" as an audio to HDMI converter without any video signal connected to HDMI input of a mini converter?

I don’t know about those SDI converters.
Depending on your needs it might also be a problem that it’s currently not possible to delay the HDMI audio inside Atem minis. I just asked for that feature here:

You can add to my thread if you like, and hopefully this feature will be added.

However, at least this audio to HDMI embedder is able to add a blue screen to work without a video source:

I just ordered a different cheap one from aliexpress without any info on whether or not it will work without a video source. (link on my thread) For my use it’s good enough as I don’t want to loose a video source anyway, but replace the audio with higher quality mixed one.

If you want, I can report back when I receive the embedder to let you know how it works with my Atem mini + Mini Pro ISO.
