No Video via SmallHD, but fine with other brand monitors


Recommended Posts

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.

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?

Thanks for those links!

Yeah I am using a convertor! 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? ?

Hmmm seems to still have no signal. Just tried switching back to the Atomos converter and its fine with that one still. ?
