Q: 6. Has anyone used this to input HDMI from PC to an SDI input , on the BMD 1 M/E Switcher? We tried using a Decimator MD-HX and have not had any luck.Thanks!

A: 1st, your Payload: BMD ATEM by default is 1080i / 59.94; Delivery: SMPTE Level B. Your Decimator MD-HX, those are configured by default as Output Converters. Install the Decimator control Panel to configure (Decimator)as an Input Converter. It will do what you want.The DAC-70s are SMPTE Level A. At 1080i / 59.94, they will work as long as the Payload remains 1080i / 59.94. Delivery: SMPTE Level A or B, does not matter at that rate. We use both DAC-70's & Decimators, among other Converters, with our BMD ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K Video Switch. Hope that helps!

Q: 7. does it embeds RCA Audio Input onto HDMI Output (just like what DAC-8P does, if we want to chose audio from RCA instead of HD-SDI)? please refer here a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/867307-REG/Datavideo_dac8p_HD_SD_SDI_T_HDMI_Converter_Up.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/867307-REG/Datavideo_dac8p_HD_SD_SDI_T_HDMI_Converter_Up.html/a

A: Using the analog audio input it will embed audio onto the HDMI output.

Q: 8. I noticed that the power supply comes separately - does that mean that it can alternatively be powered by a computer through the USB port? I am also unclear about the audio inputs. I have never seen that type of jack before...

A: No, it cannot be powered via USB. That is used to provide more comprehensive control, diagnostics, and upgrades to the unit from a PC or Mac. The audio input uses a 6 pin Phoenix connector, Wiring is done by inserting the connector provided with the unit. The wires will need to be stripped and inserted into the connector as described in the manual.

Q: 9. Can it convert a DVI input to HD-SDI using a DVI to HDMI Cable?

Q: 10. I have a Free To Air Satellite Receiver that receives and displays most Ku Band Satellite TV channels in 720p HD format, which is watchable but oftentimes annoying; nowhere near the 1080i quality I would like. So if I ran an HDMI cable from the Free To Air satellite reciever to the Up Converter, and another HDMI cable from the converter to my TV, will I get the nice crystal clear detailed 1080i picture instead? Or will it still look fuzzy and kind of out of focus? I'm willing to blow the money for your product if it will display in true clear detailed 1080i quality. I hope you can please let me know. Thanks!

A: This is a great converter. I've bought a few of them for various applications. It will absolutely do the conversion you're asking about. The quality you get on the output will be entirely dependant upon what you put in. If your source is HD then you can expect a good picture going up to 1080.
