Please Help -No SDI Output from HDMI to SDI Mini Converter

PostThu Feb 27, 2014 5:06 pm

Please Help -HDMI to SDI – Black Magic Mini Converter – No Output: I just bought HDMI to SDI mini converter to convert HDMI to SDI. The Output of the converter I am feeding into SDI of fibrelink Model- 3150 HD/SD-SDI Compliant with full SMPTE 259M-2006, 292-2006, 297-2006 for Transmission over fiber I have changed and tried with all the types of HDMI input signals. I don,t get the SDI output – To check the SDI output of the converter - i am using ikigami SDI monitor – to additionally check I have also tried giving the output of the converter to Kramer –Model FC4045. I have also tried dip switch 1 in the converter with different input of HDMI. To check my fibrelink 3150 – It works fine with the color bar of the SDI output of the Kramer.
Thanks

What is your source to the convertor? Do you have other sources to test with?

Thank you fred -
I am using HDMI output of the android box to the mini converter - I have changed HDMI output of the android box to the following HDMI outputs 480p ,576i, 576p, 720p-60hz, 720p-50hz,1080i-60hz, 1080i-50hz, 1080p-60hz, 1080p-50hz & tried

I have also tried with the different HDMI output of PC & Laptop - I have also tried with different HDMI video outputs of DVD player

The SDI fibrelink -3150 i am using to feed in the output of SDI of the mini converter is a four year old product with the following specs.
Fiberlink® 3150 Transmitter Specifications
Data Rate Range: 19.4 Mbps to 1.5 Gbps
Supported Standards: SMPTE 259M, 292, 297, 305M, 310M, 344M, DVB-ASI
Re-clocked Data Rates 270 Mbps (SMPTE 259M,DVB-ASI-270),1.485Gbps (SMPTE 292)
Equalization Automatic up to 200m of Belden1694A at 1.485 Gbps and 350m at 270 Mbps
Return Loss >15dB up to 1.485 Gbps

similarly the Kramer SDI to AV converter & the SDI ikigami monitor used for testing are a bit old SDI equipments and not the latest.
Thanks

A couple of questions:
Are you using the Mini converter to down convert to SD or are you using it only for converting to SDI.
If you are sending a HD-signal are your monitor capable of showing a HD-sdi signal?
The mini converter can down convert to SD if you only have a SD-sdi monitor. Set dipswitch 1 to processing on.
Your problem could also be that the android box have copyright protected signal and i´m not sure if you can convert that to sdi.
