About this deal

TV Types: (3) 47" Vizios, (1) 32" Vizio and the test TV in the media booth mentioned above is a 48" Hitachi, 2016 model. Same results on all TV's. Optional accessories: Fibre transmitter SFP module, to provide an SDI output over fibre. HDMI input: The problem I'm having is some kind of aliasing/static on the audio. Because I had to source the Micro Converters from several sources, they arrived at different times. I started the install as soon as the gear arrived and the first 3 units worked beautifully. However, when I tried to install 2 more Micro Converter units, I experienced constant static (oddly, the static sound "pans" or alternates between the L & R speakers of the NEC display). I've swapped everything. Cables, splitters, converters, displays, even power source, power circuits. The only piece of gear that made a difference was the SDI to HDMI converter. Working through my supply of 12, I have found 5 that function normally and 3 that experience the static. I have yet to test the other 4. HDMI video standards include 525i59.94 NTSC, 625i50 PAL, 720p50, 720p59.94, 720p60, 1080p23.98, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p29.97, 1080p30, 1080p50, 1080p59.94, 1080p60, 1080i50, 1080i59.94 and 1080i60. Plus 3G level A and B are supported.

The converter box needs a power supply, the adapter is included, along with several power adaptor options, ensuring the converter can be powered regardless of where you are in the world.

But, if you don’t recognize the manufacturer/supplier then talk to friends and colleagues to assess their experience. Alongside this, you’ll find it beneficial to talk to people on social media and online forums. There are certain to be honest opinions regarding manufacturers and specific products.

At the other end of the scale, the S-Echoing SDI to HDMI converter is a much cheaper option but it does the job, providing you only wish to convert from SDI to HDMI. I will know for sure if the problem is fixed on Sunday. I let it run for about 20 minutes without issue. Will update again if needed. Thank you for all of the help and support. I've made bold the areas that I feel the problem is likely to exist. Either the SDI connection or the HDMI cables... However, the SDI method we are using is the same that we have running all of our long run projectors, the SDI to Analog converter, and the SDI to our DecLink to our live stream box and we have had zero problems. The sound issue only lies with the TV's. Automatically detects SD, HD, 2KDCI, UltraHD and 4KDCI. Level A and B is automatically detected on 3G-SDI input and user selectable on 3G-SDI output. HDMI Video Standards I am glad that my detailed troubleshooting and thoroughness can be of assistance. While I'm not happy to know you too (and a few others) are experiencing this problem, it somewhat relieves me at the same time to know I'm not alone. At the same time it adds to the frustration that a solution hasn't been given to this day.Pristineimage fidelity and HFR support up to 60p for 4K/UltraHD 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 conversion with a single cable SDI video inputs are automatically detected between standard definition, high definition, 3G‑SDI and 6G-SDI. HDMI to SDI 6G supports levelB only on 3G-SDIoutput. Impressively, it auto-selects depending on what you have plugged in and is even capable of doing one channel SDI to HDMI and one channel HDMI to SDI at the same time. I will say this, your situation is the first and is actually a crucial element. I've been told that the problem is in the firmware of the ATEM switcher and not the converters itself. That is obviously not the case, and if it is, then that's an even bigger problem in its own, in that these converters would at that point, not be supported by anything other than BM switcher, and they'd need to advertise as such. I was also said that the problem was only in the Micro ... According to the comments on my YouTube video, the issue also lies in the Mini Converter itself as well. This problem should have never made it to the public. They were able to re-create this problem in their lab by simply letting the equipment test for a longer period ... It only takes 10-15 minutes for this problem to produce itself. It makes me wonder if it was tested at all or for longer than just to confirm that it has a signal.

Please read all of this. Because my problem was semi complicated and involved multiple pieces of equipment, I want to be very thorough and hopefully save others the time of troubleshooting and headache. SDI video connections are automatically switchable between standard definition and highdefinition, and user selectable for levelA orB via setuputility. SDI Color Precision In the early stages of this issue, they informed me that the issue wasn't in the ATEM but solely the micro-converter only. They recommend purchasing the mini converter in place of the micro as it's not affected, however a earlier post on this thread or my YouTube channel say that the mini's are affected as well, so I'm not sure what an ATEM update is going to fix, but I'll let the mad doctor explain that one! Is anyone else using an ATEM with another brand of sdi-hdmi converter? I am just wonder if I should jump to another brand of converter in the meantime so I can get my system up and running sooner. The price often reflects this but it is worth considering it separately as well. In short, the cheaper options tend to simply pass through the signal, converting it to HDMI. They don’t offer any option or ability to upgrade the signal.Thank you for the response, Tony. I just attempted to troubleshoot by swapping one of the HDMI cable's with a completely different brand. Same issue. It seems to be once the device (either the Micro Converters or the switcher) heats up. The one cable I haven't swapped that is a common denominator is the SDI cable between the switcher and the Micro Converter (in the test situation)(same cable that will go into the SDI Distribution). If swapping that cable doesn't get me where I need to be, that narrows me to the switcher itself and I will attempt to swap ports. If that doesn't fix it, it sound's like I'll be requesting an RMA from BM for a new switcher.
