Re: Problems getting HD-SDI Signal from HD Connect LE to Xena LH

Hi Tim,

I'm not in front of my editing machine, I'll post the settings tonight. I tried quite a few different settings, even setting the HD Connect LE to convert and output 720p. I'll post the one I think should be working.

I'm using one of those Aja "breakout boxes" that are rack-mount. I forgot what they call it, but it is the box that fits in the rack on my editing desk that the Aja board plugs into. The connections are clearly labelled on it. I'm plugging the HD Connect LE into the SDI In on that.

(I used to plug cables into the wrong place too, like you mentioned, which is why I bought the "box" - I'm glad I did, makes life easier.)

I'm hoping someone will pop into the discussion here with a link to a $50 device that will test an sdi signal. I'd love to have a little box that I can plug the HD Connect LE's SDI into that lights up if there is a signal. Or maybe some sort of universal A/V signal tester that isn't too expensive?

I might have to buy one of those SDI to HDMI converts for $500. I'd just hate to do that, just to test the signal. (I can find a use for a box that converts HDMI to HD-SDI, but I don't think that will help me)

You'd think I could use a voltmeter or oscilloscope and test the presence of a signal.

I didn't get much help from the HD Connect LE support. They are saying it must be a setting on the Aja (which I understand, but I was hoping for a suggestion from them, for a way to test the presence of a signal on the HD Connect LE's SDI out)

I haven't heard back from Aja support. I'll give them one more day before I send another email to them.

Thanks,

Jeron
