Aja Xena SDI and HDLINK Pro to a plasma doesn’t work…

[Tim Kolb]

What model are you using? The Hi5?

You mean what model of Xena?

I have the LHe (actually is the Kone LHe…but using bootcamp and XP it became the Xena…)

Thanks

…ah, I meant the adapter…but I spaced the “HD Link Pro” portion…it’s a Black Magic product.

There is a mention on the site about a software upgrade for it to output to HDMI…is it possible that a software patch is needed?

Thanks Tim,

Where did you red that info?..i can’t find it..

In the specs say oytput to DVI and HDMI display…
Also the first time that i have connected the HDLink Pro using the USB cable i had a firmware upgrade…

It’s about halfway down on this page

https://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/hdlink/

by the yellow cable graphic on the right side…it may only apply to HD Link though, not the ‘Pro’…

I’m not a BM user myself so I’m not sure of each model’s capabilities…

I think at this point that it’s an HD Link problem either way…which probably makes it more productive to ask about this issue on the Black Magic Forum…wouldn’t you think so?

The AJA equipment you have appears to be working fine.

Tim,

I need to monitor SDI output from my Xena LH (for final color match, etc.) Would you recommend the AJA Hi5 that you mentioned above for an HDMI output to a HDTV, or the AJA HDP2 for a DVI-D output to a standard PC monitor?

Additionally, what monitor/TV would you recommend? Can’t afford to break the bank on $2-4K professional monitors…

Thanks!

Daniel
