    I have a Panasonic HPX 370 and want to have my clients view it on a 24″ LCD with HDMI input. I bought a HD-SDI to HDMI Converter and it won’t work. The camera says SDI output on the BNC, it really is HD-SDI output? Am I missing something?

    Some grammatical errors seem to be interfering with your message. I suppose we could start by what format you are shooting in, if the Sdi output is set to down convert, and what converter you bought

    Most HD-SDI to HDMI converters “like” 1080i or 720p as the input format. Some I’ve used will accept SD-SDI, but for some reason the output is double-letterboxed. Some converters also have limited frame-rate compatibility. I’d recommend setting the camera to either 1080i or 720p @ 59.94.
