ATEM 1 not showing image with MARS 400S Pro

PostFri Feb 04, 2022 5:19 am

So I run production in a church and our set up is an Atem 1 m/e production studio 4k hooked up to 4 cameras using SDI. I want to make one of those cameras wireless so I got a Mars 400S pro, plugged in the trasnmiter to the camera and the receiver to one of the SDI wires. I set up both the camera and the atem to 1080p59.94 and I get audio from the camera with the transmiter but no video feed.

Any ideas?

I find very unlikely a cheap chinese gear can manage 3G HD-SDI level A

Probably, the Hollyland swap the original frame rate to some random (with absolute lack of logical explication) other frame rate.

Check the receiver output with some monitor which show the incoming resolution and frame rate when you turn it on.

I learn the lesson in the hard way, when I buy a crappy Forhope XM1000 "PRO".

Totally waste of money.

Me advice? go for a professional system, or buy a Decimator.

Hey!

Same problem here. Proper resolution set on the source, but is not recognised by the ATEM.
We found out that if you connect the receiver HDMI output into BMD adapter and then SDI into ATEM it properly recognises the source.

Have no idea why, but it works.

Good luck!
