I think that part of the reason there is so much variation in success rates with GoPros is that all of the inputs into the ATEM need to be at the same resolution and frame rate (which may be different from what is output by the camera).

I don't have a lot of experience with the GoPro 5 specifically, but have used the GoPro 4 Black and GoPro 6 Black. For 1080p resolutions, usually the GoPro will output a progressive signal at 1080p50 or 1080p5994 (depending on whether it is set to PAL or NTSC mode). This is often true even if the GoPro is set to record internally in a different format (like 1080p25 or 1080p30). It is difficult to get the GoPros to output an interlaced signal (like 1080i50 or 1080i5994), although sometimes this is possible when connecting a GoPro directly to an HDMI input that does not accept 1080p50/60 input signals.

So my general recommendation would be to expect to use some kind of scaler/frame rate converter (like a Decimator MD-HX or perhaps the new Blackmagic UpDownCross HD) between the GoPro and the switcher. Then you can convert the GoPro's output to exactly match the video signal format required by the switcher and can also convert to SDI for longer cable runs.

Alternatively, you could look into a camera like the Marshall CV502 or CV505 which has a direct SDI output that you can set to the same video format as the switcher.

GoPro 4 models also work fine with ATEM set to 720p50 if you set the GoPro in its menu to 720p50 and using BMD mini converter to go from hdmi to SDI (converter produces the correct level B if you are running 1080p - this may be an issues some others experience if not using BMD converters).

Just add a scaling converter like the new UpDownCross HD. For that price it is the best HDMI to SDI converter that also fixes any resolution / framerate issues with your hero.. You need to do HDMI to SDI conversion anyway! ;)

Thank you all for posting. I'm planning on using GoPro Hero 7 White. I do have Blackmagic Design (BMD) HDMI to SDI micro converters (uH2S). If the GoPro works on mini H2S converter, then it should work on uH2S too?

I'm going to livestream tennis, and the GoPro has a really good FOV.

After all my research I understand that GoPro works with BMD products on 720p50.

I had problems to connect a gopro some time ago.
To get it to output 720p50, i had to set the gopro to 720p100.
