Hello,
Im pretty new to vMix and bought a decklink duo 2 card which perfectly worked with my first two streams.
Now i wanted to do my third stream and suddenly the 80m cables didnt work anymore, when i connect the cables to my atomos shogun everything works perfectly, using the 5m cables i get a connection as well. device on the other side is a BM Hdmi to Sdi converter.

Any ideas why this happens? Are there any settings?

Best
Felix

Hi Felix.

I have the BM hdmi sdi converter and I had one camera that i could never get it to work with. Called up blackmagic and as it turns out the converter is not 100% compatible with HDMI devices. I was shocked. They said some devices just dont play nice with it...

Try to set the converter output to 720p. I have the same problem with camera output and sdi cable over 80m 1080 no signal, 720 works fine.

I've done 80+ meter runs.

You really need RG6 QUAD SHIELD cable for reliability.

What are the specs of the cable? I've gone over 120m on RG6 Quad.

I do not know what is the problem with you, but for SDI HD 1920 * 1080 with decklink duo 2 boards (7 inputs) using the cable of the local factory "Odessakabel" we stretch for a distance up to 150-180 meters and everything works fine.But when they bought the cable "Canare" - after 50 meters the signal is gone ... although the company is famous! ... Therefore, we do not use world brands.
Most likely you have a very poor-quality cable



I specifically checked the maximum length of the cable we used for the last time 202 meters. Yes, for longer distances we had to use optical converters.
