Use 2 Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI back to back

PostThu Nov 07, 2024 9:11 am

Hi everyone,

I have an ATEM Mini Extreme ISO (HDMI) and four BMPCC 6K Pro cameras. For an upcoming event, I will need three of the cameras to be more than 30/50 meters away from my ATEM. Therefore, I am considering using a Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI to utilize SDI, as HDMI is not suitable for those distances. However, I still need to maintain tally and the ability to control the cameras from my ATEM.

Do you know if I can use two Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI units back-to-back with 2 SDI cables while still having tally and control functionality?

Here is a simplified diagram to illustrate what I want to do:

BMPCC --> HDMI --> Micro Converter --> 2x SDI IN/OUT --> Micro Converter --> HDMI --> ATEM

Thank you so much !

Yes, this is how I maintain tally using two bidirectional converters.
