The @Blackmagic_News ATEM Mini firmware version 8.2.2 was just released! Join me for a livestream tomorrow while I install the update live and check out the new features! What could possibly go wrong? youtube.com/bzeQhy5xyzs
Yeah exactly. You might shop around a bit too cause sometimes the one-way converters are cheaper. Both those devices linked will convert both ways, but you could use a separate HDMI->SDI and SDI->HDMI device if that is cheaper.
Yep! The Decimator both converts from HDMI to SDI and also scales it, which is handy on the larger ATEMs that don't handle scaling themselves. On the other end, you'd need SDI->HDMI back in to the ATEM Mini if you're doing that.
There are some active HDMI cables that can amplify the signal, or also HDMI repeaters, but it'll probably take some trial and error to find ones that work with your cameras. The "pro" version is to convert to SDI and back, which can go up to 300 feet.
Thanks! HDMI cable length is pretty limited, and unfortunately there's no hard and fast rule. It depends on the cable itself as well as the strength of the signal put out by the camera. Generally you won't get more than 20 feet in the best case scenario though.
It's not a good argumentative technique:
"A straw man is a form of argument ... based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent."
