Hey Everyone who reads this.
I managed to figure out my issue. I'm new to Micro Converters and the requirements for my Blackmagic EVF and didn't realize that the EVF and Micro Converter required that although the single HDMI connected to the HDMI OUT on the Micro Converter connects to the corresponding HDMI IN (1-8) on the switcher allows the attached pop out touchscreen viewfinder (5" screen) on the URSA detects tally and preview (shows a red border or green border when tally signal is received), you must also supply the Micro Converter a return feed from the ATEM back to the HDMI IN port on the Micro Converter for the EVF to operate.
I guess internally the wiring is a bit different in that the URSA doesn't send the Tally signal into the front 3G-SDI port even though it knows there is Tally (if looking at the pop out screen) but rather the 3G-SDI front port gets it's information only when both Micro Converter's HDMI ports and SDI ports are populated.
A positive here is I now am able to get a program feed back into my URSA and can use the PGM feature to watch what is being shown at the switcher. Bonus!
Anyway, hope this helps someone else who might be new to all of this (like myself).
