Hey everyone,

We are using Blackmagic components for everything. We have the following: PCC6K on the end of a 25' jib (using a 30' 8k rated HDMI cable) Canon Compact Servo CN-E 18-80 lens Video Assist 7" 12G Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 12G ATEM Constellation 4k 2ME. ATEM Camera Controller

Here's what we need to accomplish: 4k (6g) signal to video control Reference control to the camera including tally Monitoring of the camera to the display hopefully with tally.

The "obvious" choice (to me) is to go HDMI from the camera into the Video Assist, and take SDI out to the switcher, however, according to the manual, the Video Assist can only take in and put out 1080 from the HDMI.

Any thoughts on how can we accomplish what we need to do?

Use a different camera - the Pocket 6K maxes out at 1080p on its HDMI port, so you won't be able to get a 4K signal from the camera.
