I'm having difficulty getting timecode from a Teranex Mini Converter SDI to Audio 12G. (Software version 7.1.4)

The SDI input is coming from an ATEM Constellation 2M/E.
ATEM is displaying Time-of-Day running timecode in ATEM Software Control.
If I record the ATEM output with a Hyperdeck, playback of the resulting clip appears to have the correct timecode.

I have the Teranex DIP switches and Teranex Setup software (connected via USB) set to output Timecode on the right channel.

I CAN hear the ATEM audio on the Left channel XLR Out of the Teranex.
If I switch the Teranex Setup software to have both XLR outputs set to Analog, I get ATEM audio from both XLR outputs. Switching back to send Timecode to XLR Right results in dead silence from the right XLR out.

I'm expecting to hear the "grinding noise" of LTC with this connected to an audio mixer, but getting complete silence, no signal. None of my timecode reader/receiver devices are recognizing timecode from the right XLR. (Tried Ambient Devices clock slate and Atomos UltraSync One devices with native/purchased XLR Timecode connection cables)

Any thoughts/suggestions on this?

I'm having the same issue trying to get LTC from the right XLR output.

The issue seems to be level A, level B incompatibility.
While the ATEM is in level B by default it seem that the Teranex will only output LTC on the right XLR from a level A SDI source.

I'm running at 30fps to sync with other virtual production equipment.... looks like Level A is 50fps only?
(That would explain why the A/B selector is grayed out in the control software)

Bought this SDI->Audio box at Blackmagic's suggested and now it sounds like it's just not going to work.

I am having a similar issue. I am trying to get the LTC Timecode into a Zoom F6.

My Zoom F6 will read a Tentacle Sync time code but not out of the Teranex Mini.

I called BM and they seem to think it should work. I did hook up the Timecode output to an audio recorder and listened. I don't hear any signals. Should there be an audio signal noise there or is it just some sort of audio data?
