Q: 1. Is the 12V DC plug in on the unit 5.5mm outer and 2.5mm inner OR 5.5mm outer and 2.1mm inner? Thanks

A: The included 12V Universal Power Supply's plug is a 1 x 4-pin XLR port for external power or battery use. Pin 1 = Ground and Pin 4 = +12 V.

Q: 2. Can I use this converter with the HDMI connection of my Macbook Pro? Will I be limited to mirroring my own display or can I use that converter to stream a second SDI monitor?

A: I have done both from my MacBook. I also needed a usb-c to hdmi cable since my MacBook didn’t have an hdmi port, but it worked well.

Q: 3. does it convert 1080p to 4k?

A: No, this device does not convert 1080P to 4K.....4K is 4 times the resolution of 1080P (think 4 1080P signals combined). This device takes a video signal on an HDMI cable and converts it to an SDI cable. Why convert to an SDI cable? Because SDI cables can carry a video signal MUCH further than an HDMI cable can a video signal. What kind of input signals can this device handle and convert to SDI? It can handle video resolutions of 4K, 1080P and lower. But all it s does is convert the input signal from HDMI cable to SDI cable, it does not change the input resolution.....what goes in is what goes out....just over a different kind of cable that can handle longer distances than HDMI can handle. If you want to convert a signal from one resolution to another.....like 1080P to 4K or the reverse 4K to 1080P then you need a video scalar like this product from B and H......SC-HDM-HD42K 2-Port HDMI 4K Scaler from Avenview.

Q: 4. Does the audio embed into the HDMI Signal and is it delayed?

A: Agree also. Have not noticed any audio delay from video. Use it among other things to drive a large hallway monitor so people outside the worship can watch/listen.

Q: 5. I have been told that this unit heats up after 45 minutes or so. Is it true? as I need to operate it around 10 continuous hours

A: Use mine 12 hours a day for weeks at a time. Heat is insignificant. I have 4 units.

Q: 6. I plan to use this with a monitor to use the 3D LUT capability. Is there a power button, or way to shut the unit down when the monitor attached is powered off?

A: No, the Mini Converters don't have a power button. You would either need to disconnect it from the power source to turn it off, or connect the power supply to a power switch to easily turn it on and off.

Q: 7. I see that it will downconvert to 1080p on the HDMI output when a non-4k device is connected, but will the SDI output still be 4k in this case? Looking for simultaneous 4k SDI out for recording and 1080p HMDI out to ATEM Mini

A: If the main stream is 4k over SDI the output of the converter will be setup to what the receiver, lcd or recorder wants. As long as the recorder is setup to receive and communicate to the converter it wants 4k that’s what will be available.

Q: 8. Can I convert an HDMI signal from iPad to SDI 1080i 59.94 for Atem studio switcher?

A: No. The iPad is 60 Hz output and the ATEM Television Studio will not accept 60 Hz output on SDI inputs.

Q: 9. Can this be used to convert HDMI from Camera to SDI out to the mixer?

A: Hi, If your audio mixer (or do you mean video switcher?) accepts SDI connections, then yes, this would work.

Q: 10. Is this compatible with Mac OS 10.10.5?

A: The setup program has a minimum requirement of 10.12 but some of these applications will work on earlier OS versions. You could test this by downloading the app and seeing if it will install. That said, you only need to install the app if you are going to update firmware on the device.
