Is anyone familiar with the Blackmagic Mini Converter SDI-to-HDMI and using disembedded analog audio from it? I am currently in an editing suite where the signal path is...
MacPro (2013) -> BM UltraStudio Express ->
via SDI (embedded audio) -> BM SDI-to-HDMI converter ->
via HDMI (embedded audio) to TV ->
via unbalanced audio out from TV -> Mixer
Instead of the unbalanced audio (from TV to mixer) I would like to utilize the balanced audio outputs of the SDI-to-HDMI converter. So I connected the converter to the mixer, using TRS-jack <-> XLR cables. The audio now finds its way to the mixer but with an apparently very high volume. Mixer faders are just a little bit above nothing and the signal already starts clipping. Input gain on the mixer is set to minimum and my avid mix is far from being too loud. Am I overseeing an option to reduce the volume of the SDI-embedded audio before it arrives at the mixer?
