Hey all,

New to the forum!
I want to embed video and audio through the BM Mini converter (HDMI - SDI) then stream out via FLME using the Thunderbolt Mini recorder.
I'm having issues connecting my Sony a7s(i) and BM Mini Converter HDMI to SDI audio embedder (NOT 4K)

I am able to connect my Sony a7s over HDMI directly to the mini recorder and Desktop video picks up the signal is 1080i59.94 but when I add the embedder to the loop for audio, Desktop Video shows the video input as NTSC (SDI). I did have it working before with the embedder but now I am stuck.

Workflow:

Sony Camera HDMI Out - BM Converter - SDI Out - Mini recorder - Fireware to Mac Pro
Alesis Mixer Jack - BM Converter ^

Dim switches for BM HDMI - SDI, All on accept for 8(off)

I can take photos of my set up if it helps
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!
