Blackmagic Forum

This happens, when U use bidirectional converter .. HDMI-> SDI for connect notebook's hdmi output .. SDI-> HDMI to connect multiview SDI output to HDMI input of monitor .. And any user disconnect notebook, whitch is switched to program out ..

BMD : Is any chance to add ability to Bidirectional converter setup , to disable loop ?

I suspect it's probably possible to add this via firmware as I believe the signal routing is controlled by the on-board FPGA. But who knows whether adding support for this is seen as high priority.

If you don't need the camera control conversion features, you might want to take a look at the Decimator MD-LX which is a similar HDMI / SDI bi-directional converter. The key difference being that the Decimator MD-LX has several options for video signal routing, so in addition to Auto-Select (which behaves like the Blackmagic BiDirectional converter and changes based on the connected inputs), you can also set the routing to be fixed so that it doesn't change with loss of an input signal.

Dave : thats great idea .. Im using lot of MD-HX here .. But never had hands on MD-LX .. Great !

Disabling loopback would be great, +1 from me.
Happened to be using a BiDirectional for Multiview-SDI to TV-HDMI and laptop-HDMI for DSK-input(SDI). Something glitched from laptop output that was used for the DSK input and multiview started looping back with a "nice" little audiofeedback on a live stream, not fun.

Im waiting for it 2 years and nothing ..

COME ON BMD !!!
