Signal Compatibility
Always verify the SDI and HDMI signal types (resolution, frame rate, progressive/interlaced) are compatible with the 12G SDI standard for both input and output to ensure a successful conversion.
Power Source Reliability
Ensure a stable and sufficient power source, especially when converting 12G SDI signals, which can be power-intensive. Use the included power supply or a reliable D-Tap source.
Cable Quality
Use high-quality, properly rated 12G SDI cables for optimal signal integrity, particularly over longer runs. Poor cables can lead to signal degradation or dropouts.
Firmware Updates
Regularly check for and install firmware updates via Blackmagic Design’s website. Updates can improve compatibility, add features, and resolve potential issues.
Heat Dissipation
While compact, these converters can generate some heat during continuous operation. Ensure they are placed in a well-ventilated area and not covered, especially in warm environments.
