Rhys Warren Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I am sending a signal from an SR3 tap into an AJA Mini Convertor into a Teradek, which all works fine with TVLogics (Newer and older models), Sony etc. But when trying to send to a SmallHD, I do not get any video. Why would this be? I have also tried setting up with the Atomos Connect Convert rather than my AJA Converter and this will send a signal. What makes my AJA Convertor different and why does it not seem to be compatible with the SmallHD? I have also tried hardwiring direct from the converter, bypassing the Teradek.

Rasmus Frostell Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Hi, I haven't used the smallhd as an onboard monitor on the SR3. But are you using an analog - SDI converter? That could be the issue. I usually use an atomos Samurai as onboard monitor that records internally for playback. And have had no issues. I usually use the wicam converter - https://www.wicam.pro/eng/a2s.html See the link for a similiar setup i had a while ago. https://imgur.com/a/XxLwnBG EDIT: Just saw that you're using a converter. Not sure then. Perhaps the SDI sends 480p or 720p and the smallhd is displaying 1080p? Edited May 31, 2020 by Rasmus Frostell EDIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atomos converter seems to work fine with all monitor brands and sends a perfect signal. But my AJA converter sends signals to all monitors except a SmallHD.

Ok, if you connect the sdi from the SR3-output to the smallhd directly. Does that work? Then a workaround is Camera- SDI converter - smallhd In - Small HD out - teradek. Might work? ?

Just tried switching back to the Atomos converter and its fine with that one still. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyryll Sobolev Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) what do you have set as input on the smallhd? it might be on hdmi at the moment Edited May 31, 2020 by Kyryll Sobolev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Hegyi Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Could it be possible that your signal is getting converted to 60 fps at some point in the chain? I've run across issues with older smallHD monitors and 60fps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
