Will this allow Raw codec recordings in Video ...

Will this allow Raw codec recordings in Video Assist 12G HDR monitors? Connections would be BPMCC4K hdmi out to converter hdmi in- Converter SDI out to Video Assist SDI in. The VA will only record RAW format from an SDI signal, which is why I need a converter. Thanks to anyone who replies.
Asked by: Fenton
No for several reasons. The Pocket camera does not output RAW data. The converter will not pass any RAW data if present. You can record RAW inside the camera.

I am trying to run the HDMI output from a Sony CX405 handheld camera to this BM HDMI to SDI 3G converter - then into a BM HyperDeck Studio Mini. The HyperDeck Mini is not recognizing the SDI out of the converter- but the output from the camera does display on a TV. Do I need to adjust settings on the camera?
Asked by: James
I have software version 7.5.2. I downloaded 7.5.3 and 7.6 - but neither updates my micro converter. The update program says I have the current version. I have HDMI 720p 59.94fps, and a 3-foot cable. The converter works some times, but not consistently.
