Hd-Sdi Cctv Cam Not Working?


IA76

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

We ordered a HD-SDI PTZ for the sole purpose of sending video to a HDMI projector.

 

We also purchased this converter box http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro%C2%AE-SDI-HDMI-Mini-Converter/dp/B00ATQ26M0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447796112

 

When we connect the camera to the converter box the SDI lock light flickers but we get no picture on the screen.

 

We know the converter is 100% working so that can be rules out as being faulty.

 

We don't have the a HD-SDI DVR to plug the camera in to test if it is working so is there anything else we can plug in to see if it is outputting video?

I had to bite the bullet & buy a tester as my analogue only tester is now redundant so if you do a lot of installs, buy a meter & check it that way.


What's the make/model of the camera & where'd you buy it? Can you get help from the supplier?

How about doing it this way... connect it to a HD-SDI DVR then feed the projector from the DVR but only showing that channel?  If your client is not bothered about recording you could buy a barebones HD-SDI DVR for about £80 plus VAT trade & send the converter back...?
