4. Troubleshooting
There is no adjustments or settings. The unit will automatically detect
the type of SDI input and convert it to HDMI. If the SDI input has
audio embedded, then the HDMI output will have the same audio
embedded.
If you are not getting any image the first thing to check is the quality
and length of the SDI cables. This device requires the use of quality
RG-6U cables designed for SDI. Full HD (1080p) may be extended to
70 meters maximum on the SDI output. HDMI output is standard and
is limited to about 5 meters (15 feet) depending on the quality of the
HDMI cable.
