Hi,
I've recently purchased a atomos ATOMCTC-SH1 converter to be able to convert sdi to hdmi with a timecode burn in.
I'll link to the product page below.
The converter seems to be working fine when connected to a camera or davinci resolve. However, when we open avid media composer or protools on the same setup, it no longer works. The sdi to hdmi doenst present picture as soon as avid is launched.
So I suppose my question is if avid handles it's sdi output differently then other software.I've tested with Protools 12, avid 2020.10 and 2020.8
I've presented this problem to the atomos support, but they because the converter is working in other scenarios they can't really fix a problem that is not there.
With Regards
Joris

What output hardware do you use?
Media Composer by default does not output TC on SDI. You have to switch it on in Settings -> General.

I'm using a blackmagic Decklink 4k extreme 12g output card.
I switched on the option you mentioned but no cigar :/
And does MC "see" the Decklink card? Does the card output picture if connected directly to the monitor?
I've heard someone mention that the decklink drivers must be (re)installed after Media Composer. Don't know if that helps.
Yes. the Decklink card is not the problem. It's working fine just outputting the sdi.Only when I hook up the atomos converter the signal is lost.
So to recap:
MC - decklink - monitor (working)Premiere - decklink - monitor (working)Resolve - decklink - monitor (working)
MC - decklink - atomos sdi to hdmi - monitor (not working)Premiere - decklink - atomos sdi to hdmi - monitor (working)Resolve - decklink - atomos sdi to hdmi - monitor (working)
just to follow up. I am able to loop the sdi signal. so SDI - SDI trough the converter works fine. SDI - HDMI doesnt
Anyone?
I've also created a case (04158973) regarding the issue with little to no response...
If you're not getting anywhere with support, send an email to Raff Condalor (raff.condalor@avid.com). He is Avid's customer advocate, and can help you.
