List of BMD Products that accept 3G Level A as of 8/30/18

PostThu Aug 30, 2018 7:34 pm

I have an on going problem on remote facilities in the US. Most mobile facilities are currently built to work with 3G-SDI Level A signals. More and more smaller vendors trying to integrate with mobile units are bringing us BMD products. A lot of which has issues with Level A. Kinda the reason most truck carry AJA products and not BMD.

Anyone have a list of BMD with Level A support? Or a list of BMD products lacking Level A support?

Thanks
Kevin

I think we should build one ourselfs.. There is no known list of A /B compatibility..

Wanted to make such a list for my own BMD gear as well.. Because i do have a lot of BMD gear and run a lot on 3G..

Yeah, I'm sure the SDI driver hardware used is capable of 3G SDI, but I think because of the upscaling modes supported on these units, there are no 3G output options. With SD input they allow upscaling to HD in which case 1.5G HD-SDI is used. With HD component input, they allow upscaling to UHD in which case 6G or 12G SDI output is used.

The Teranex Mini HDMI to SDI 12G and Teranex Mini HDMI to Optical converters now support selectable 3G SDI Level A or B output (as of firmware 6.1.1).

I have updated the post on the Teranex Mini converters above accordingly.

Following the latest v6.0 update to the HyperDeck Pro, it would seem that Level A as an input is now supported.... Can't find any mention of this in the documentation though....

Also our Multiview 16 has always accepted Level-A signals.......

Although once recorded, when played, Output seems to revert to Level B.

Please could BMD confirm the expected behaviour if it has changed???

From my experience: Yes, it can handle level A, but not from all sources.

Which source are you trying with?

It is limited how many sources I have tested, but mine will gladly accept level A from BM cameras, JVC remote cameras and Decimator converters.
It will not accept level A from Marshall cameras (CV502) and DJI controllers.

The Atem handles Level A fine. The problem is your PTZ Optics camera that is not Broadcast complaint!!
Same with those Marshall cameras they use a Camera security chipset instead of a broadcast chipset because it is much CHEAPER then the SMPTE complaint chipsets..

Thats super disapointing... Using a scaler adds too much latency for my needs...
Are there any similar products that are compatible? I spent ages looking up these cameras and didnt find any reason they wouldnt work. I feel like there is a serious lack of transparancy from all these companies on the complexities of SDI.. not a single one of the spec sheets has ever mentioned the Level A/B thing, and now your saying theres whole other incompatible standards as well.. how are you supposed to know what to buy!

Oh there no Lack around all companies.. But the problem is that PTZ Optics tried to cut corners placing cheaper chipsets in there cameras to get the price down.

But they are not broadcast compatible and that is why so many users have issues and almost all report they have problems with PTZ Optic cameras.. Just search the forum and you will see how big the problem is. So yes cheap cameras but not use-able yet in a 1080P environment.

Bmd might come with an update in the future that fixes the problem by accepting non SMPTE compatible sources.. But that is easier said then done. It is not there problem that PTZ optics and some marshall cams use NON SMPTE chipsets. ;)

Thank you for figuring this out Daniel. If it helps, the ATEM Television Stuido 4K Pro and Constellation should accept these SDI signals. I have verified the Pro 4K. I don't have the camera now to test the Constellation but I feel it well. The HDMI from these cameras do work with supported ATEMs if that is any help. Many of the cameras are 60 Hz instead of 59.94 Hz which is also problematic for most ATEMs but the Television Studio Pro 4K and Constellation will accept these frequencies as input.

I don't know how much of a budget you are on, but I would suggest the BM Micro Studio camera.
I have ditched the Marshalls because the image on the BM is so much better. And you have CCU control when using an ATEM.
It's a little bit more bulky, but if you mount it correctly it isn't a problem.
My setup is:

BM Micro
Lumix G 7-14mm
Short mic stand with round base
Manfrotto 244 arm
Heavy sandbag (with steel granule, 12kg) to weigh it down
LP-E6 dummy plate to DTap (because the included expansion port power cable is very bulky)
Wooden Camera Micro Cage

A big vlock battery will power this for a whole production day.

Thanks, I have thought about the Micro Studio camera, my worry was finding lenses that work, but i just found the BMD list of servo lenses. It still works out about 3 times the price though. I guess I'll just have to wait till I have the budget.

I first got the Lumix G 14-42 servo lens, but that way way too tele for a drum in my opinion. Also you can't fluently zoom in mid shot, and you have to adjust focus afterwards.

I wouldn't expect the Marshall CV502 to work with ATEM natively, but the CV502B does as it puts out the broadcast resolutions/framerates. When buying one of their cameras, always look for the -B in the model

The Marshall folks have realized that the differentiating models is more trouble than it is worth, and moving forward their chipsets and imagers will support the entire range of possibilities.

MiniConverters Update 7.4 came out today: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/suppor ... daf0269f67
Update adds Level A support on the SDI to Audio 4K.
Also add's a bunch of non broadcast framerates to this unit.

Does not add anything else to the rest of the mini converter line.

Re: List of BMD Products that accept 3G Level A as of 8/30/

New Marshall POVs (CV503, CV506, CV344, CV346) have all frame-rates on one model now: 60, 59.94, 50, 30, 29.97, 25, 24, 23.98fps. The 3GSDI signal is Level-A but most BM equipment can be updated via firmware to accept Level-A and Level-B now.

Would. Love to know

Might want to revise this, Decklink Duo 2 only accept Level B in 1080p50 or 60. I confirmed by experiencing it with numerous camera and mini converters

Then i find it strange, that the: Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G does not work between my Mini Converter Analog to SDI and my Hyperdeck Shuttle HD, at a PAL resolution of 625i.
Using a loop through SDI/HDMI with the BMD Video Asist does works…. tried all settings and reset on the Micro Converter.
Intensity Shuttle, ATEM Mini, Video Assist 5"(mini USB), Hyperdeck ShuttleHD,Analog to SDI mini-converter, software: Davinci Resolve 15 on Sierra, Resolve 18 on Catalina. (Using Apple OS 32 & 64 bit on different MacBook Pro's
