How long of an SDI cable run can I expect? Trying to do a multi-camera baseball game and have to cover some long distances. Wireless transmitters are out of my budget and I already have the cables.
Asked by: Daniel
Depending on the SDI cable rating, quality, and format you are trying to pass, you can run up to about 300ft of SDI cable before having to reclock the signal.

Hi ther, the only setting i can change from this device is A or B Level, what do one or another does?
Asked by: Luciano
Normally you would leave the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter HDMI to SDI 3G (with Power Supply) on level A. At 3G rates of 50, 59.94 and 60 there are two supported SDI Protocols. You would set it based on the the equipment it is connected two. If you are unclear if you need A or B, set B. If you are not seeing an image, you can set it to A.

No. Most satellite and cable boxes have HDCP copy protection which will not pass on any Blackmagic HDMI input.

How well does this adapter handle converting laptop HDMI to SDI? I have a switcher that has scalers on all inputs but the input jacks are SDI only, and am wondering if this will work in lieu of a full standards converter like a teranex mini or decimator.

The BMD Micro Converter should be able to convert an HDMI signal from a computer to HDMI.
