Will this loop the hdmi input to both the sdi and hdmi output at the same time if there isnt an sdi input?

Yes. We use ours for stage display. Mac to BMD, SDI out to stage displays, and HDMI out to another monitor next to the Mac showing the same stage display.

Can i use 1 hdmi to sdi out and 1 sdi in to hdmi out simultaneously?

Yes. You can also just give it one input and have 3 outputs, either SDI in and 1 SDI and 2 HDMI outputs of the signal, or HDMI in and 1 HDMI and 2 SDI outputs. Know that if your HDMI input is interrupted, the SDI output will start passing through the SDI input. Similarly if the SDI input is interrupted, the HDMI output will start passing the HDMI input through. Also, I've had problems with these units introducing digital distortion on the audio. Cutting power to the unit will usually fix it, but check the Audio before going live with the output from these units even if you're getting nice levels on the indicator.

Can i hook a pan video camera to the hdmi input and then plug an hdmi-to-ethernet adapter to the hdmi output to stream the camera to my mac book pro?

Don't know about a Mac but it works with a pc

What amount of delay, if any, is introduced when sending signal through this converter?

I cannot find any published latency for these devices from Blackmagic but they are broadcast quality devices and I have not been able to detect any noticeable delay.

Solid Performance

This cross-converter was purchased for professional use in live event, audio visual setups. This item will be used to convert SDI signals to HDMI signals for video destinations (monitors and projectors) or for HDMI video source signals that need to get to an SDI destination (video switchers, recorders, or professional video monitors with SDI inputs.)The converter is plug and play without any dip switches or manual configuration to set source signal type and destination signal type.Build quality is good. It is sturdier and better constructed than the Decimator MD-LX. Connectors are solid though the power supply could use heavier shielding on the cable. The device has a power light to indicate it is active.This item can be used with confidence that it will perform reliably on an AV setup.

Reliable converter

Used it to stream with. A tool so necessary using sdi broadcast cameras from 2010 to convert to hdmi switcher. Excellent, and has always performed well.

Plug-and-Play (Requires external micro-USB power)

I am using this for a movie shoot to convert HDMI signal from the camera mounted on the jib (HDMI) to the director's monitor (SDI). As soon as I've plugged in a USB power to it (I've used USB power bank battery) signal just goes through as expected.

Items used in the past

We have used these items a lot during the past 8 months due to the current world conditions and they work. Making it easy to transmit our signal to various other divisions in our business. Easy and dependable piece of gear.

Simple HDMI extension to one unit works well but more than one or complex distribution, not so well

I was using a Windows 10 computer to record and distribute video to multiple locations. Some complexity to configure dual audio outputs as well as multiple "monitors" or HDMI outputs, one of which is for distribution to other rooms in the facility. I couldn't get both video and audio configured using this device in the circuit. I did test a very simple HDMI conversion and extension and it worked well with only the single monitor system.

Worth every penny!!

I didn’t believe this adapter would work as well as it does. It is plug, play, and walk away!!
