Can I bring in an hdmi signal (from a presentation laptop) and then split the signal to the HDMI out AND an SDI out at the same time? So basically it also acts as a splitter with the same signal going out of HDMI and SDI

Hello!
To bring in an HDMI signal from a presentation laptop and then split it to both HDMI out and SDI out simultaneously, you would typically use an HDMI to SDI converter with split output capabilities. This device would not only convert the signal format from HDMI to SDI but also replicate the signal to provide outputs in both HDMI and SDI formats at the same time.
*Here’s how you can set it up:*
1. HDMI to SDI Converter with Split Output: Purchase a reliable HDMI to SDI converter that has both HDMI and SDI output capabilities. Ensure that it supports the resolutions and frame rates you require.
2. Connect the Presentation Laptop: Connect the HDMI output of the presentation laptop to the HDMI input of the converter.
3. Setup Outputs:
- Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI output of the converter to the HDMI input of your desired device (e.g., a local monitor).
- Connect an SDI cable from the SDI output of the converter to the SDI input of your second device (e.g., a distant display or a video switcher).
4. Power and Test: Power on the converter and connected devices. Ensure that the converter is properly configured (if needed). Test the setup to confirm that the signal is correctly being split and transmitted to both HDMI and SDI outputs.
5. Check for Latency and Sync: When splitting and converting signals, always check for any latency issues or synchronization problems between audio and video. High-quality converters typically manage this well, but it's good to test in your specific setup.
6. Considerations for Audio: Make sure the converter also transmits the embedded audio if your presentation requires audio to be in sync with the video.
7. Quality and Resolution: The converter should ideally support the highest resolution and frame rate of your source signal. Double-check the specifications to ensure compatibility.
8. Additional Features: Some converters offer additional features like scaling, frame rate conversion, or aspect ratio adjustments. These can be useful depending on your requirements.
Remember, the quality and capabilities of the converter can significantly impact the output quality and reliability. It's advisable to invest in a reputable brand to ensure consistent performance. This setup is commonly used in various AV scenarios, including live events, broadcasting, and conference setups.

Do you always have to set output 1 loop to 'no'?

i am using a BM ATEM i am using this.
i thought tricaster did nt need this scaler

[@gabakexpress]

if you have a tricaster why do you use a scaler?

I was able to get my devices work with your video! Thank you!!!

I think you will find it much easyer to use the web brouser interface via the mini Usb to PC /Mac for control
