FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the locking connector?
The locking connector provides a secure and stable connection, preventing accidental disconnections that could interrupt recording or monitoring, especially during movement or vibration.
Can I use this cable with any camera that has a micro HDMI port?
Yes, this cable is designed to work with any camera or device equipped with a micro HDMI output port.
What is the maximum video resolution and frame rate supported?
The cable supports video signals up to 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (4K60), including HDR (High Dynamic Range).
Is this cable suitable for 8K video?
No, this cable is specified for up to 4K60 HDR. It is not designed or rated for 8K video transmission.
How do I clean the HDMI connectors?
Gently wipe the connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive cleaning agents.
What is the length of the cable?
The cable is 30cm (approximately 11.8 inches) long.
Will the locking connector work with any standard HDMI port?
The locking feature is most effective with compatible locking HDMI ports. It will connect to standard HDMI ports, but the locking mechanism will not engage.
Troubleshooting
No video signal on the monitor
Verify that the micro HDMI end is fully seated in the camera and the full HDMI end is securely locked into the monitor. Ensure the camera and monitor are powered on and set to the correct input source. Check if the cable is damaged.
Intermittent signal loss or flickering
Ensure the locking connector on the full HDMI end is properly engaged. Gently wiggle the micro HDMI connection at the camera to check for a loose fit. Test with a different micro HDMI cable if possible to rule out a camera port issue.
Cable feels too short for setup
Consider using cable extenders or relocating your monitor closer to the camera. For longer runs, a different cable length or active HDMI extender may be necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a highly secure and stable connection via the locking mechanism.
- Supports high-quality video formats including 4K at 60fps with HDR.
- The 30cm length is convenient for keeping setups tidy.
- Durable build quality suitable for professional use.
- Versatile compatibility with cameras featuring micro HDMI ports.
Cons
- The fixed 30cm length might be too short for some setups.
- Specific locking connector may limit use with non-Atomos monitors without adapters.
- Micro HDMI ports can be fragile; care must be taken during connection/disconnection.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your camera has a micro HDMI port. Gently insert the micro HDMI end into your camera's port until it clicks into place. Connect the full HDMI end to your monitor or recording device, ensuring the locking mechanism is engaged by turning the collar until it locks securely.
Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any camera or device featuring a micro HDMI output. The full HDMI connector with a locking mechanism is designed to interface securely with compatible locking ports found on Atomos monitors (like the Shinobi II) and other professional video equipment. For devices without locking ports, it will function as a standard HDMI connection but without the locking benefit.
Care: Avoid kinking or tightly bending the cable. Store the cable in a protective case or pouch when not in use. Keep both the micro and full HDMI connectors clean by gently wiping them with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. When disconnecting, gently pull the connector straight out without excessive force.
