Good day! Just got my first sled, and i'm super happy with it! I do however have a bit of an odd problem (or maybe it isn't and i'm just a newbie ((most likely)) The guy i purchased it from has an older Canon C300, which i have used as a practice camera for a while. I wanted to put my own camera on the sled, but this is where my problems began. My camera is an A7IV, which i've weighed down with a v-mount battery and a practice cage. To get signal down to my monitor, i'm having to use a blackmagic micro 3G HDMI-SDI converter. Now if i connect directly to my monitor from the converter, the signal is fine nomatter the output resolution of the camera. However, when i try to go via the internal SDI in my sled, the signal will only work with 1080 interlaced, and even then, the signal is quite glitchy. The sled has three HD-SDI connectors, which to my knowledge should be able to output 1080 25P? I have tried to configure the blackmagic converter, but my choices are only Level A or Level B, none of which work. The sled is a Glidecam X-45 (it has been upgraded in several ways, but the internal wiring is still the same). The monitor is a 702 Touch. TLDR; My sleds internal SDI cables will only output a glitchy interlaced signal, despite being capable of progressive(?)

Helo guys!! Since long time ago, I saw in my Transvideo monitor that the ACC connector it have the 4 first pines to power + vídeo, but I don't know how it work the video side. I tried to understand it with the monitor users manual, but I couldn't. My sled is the RIG Betz, and it have a MONITOR connector at the bottom, so if I plug the SDI from the camera to the top stage bnc, do the electronic of my sled convert the HD image to have video trough this MONITOR connector at the bottom of my sled? So if I plug a 8 pins lemo cable from the bottom of my sled, to the 8 pins lemo ACC connector to the monitor, do I have power and HD video with one cable without SDI cable?! I hope I'm clear with this doubt, so thanks so much in advance!!
