Hello, can this converter output from its HDMI out to the ninja v HDMI in for recording ? Thanks
Asked by: Ceasar
Yes, the HDMI output of the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 12G can be recorded by the Atomos Ninja V 5" 4K HDMI Recording Monitor. Just note that the max resolution and frame rate would be DCI 4K60 10-bit 4:2:2. Any RAW recording would not be supported.

I want to transmit a 4K signal via wireless transmitter to a monitor but the transmitter only transmits 4K via HDMI. Would it work in theory if I output from camera SDI into BM converter and from the converter HDMI output to wireless transmitter HDMI input, which then sends 4K signal to the monitor?
Asked by: Mike
Yes, the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 12G will convert your camera's 4K video signal from SDI to HDMI, which could then be ingested and transmitted via your transmitter.

Can I power this unit from Red Raptor USB C output ?
Asked by: Akhmt
No, the RED Raptor USB-C output port would not provide enough power to the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 12G. Using a V-mount battery that provides USB-C output would be a solution that would work. Core SWX XCell Micro-Sized Smart Battery (99Wh, V-Mount) BH #COXCL99V
