Get timecode from ATEM TV Studio HD to Blackmagic Pocket 4k

Hello, I need to sync my BMPCC 4k with the ATEM Television Studio HD Timecode Generator. I bought a SDI-P2 cable, tested it in all SDI out, but no TC, just noise. Anyone knows how can I do this?

The cable:

This is not how embedded TC in SDI works. Timecode in SDI is embedded in the ancillary space of the digital video signal. You can't just plug that into the analog LTC in of the BMPCC.

The BMPCC can accept timecode on the HDMI connector, the TVS HD can't provide TC on the HDMI Inputs.

You need to connect the BMPCC to the TVS HDs SDI IN and SDI OUT connectors using a Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G which should give you camera control and timecode from the switcher.
