We recently acquired a Panasonic HC-X1 camera to use in a Live production environment, and we're trying to get it's output signal into our video production equipment. I'm stuck and need y'alls expert help!
Signal chain 1 (no input):
Signal chain 2 (that works):
Signal chain 3 (this works, but was just to test the HDMI output from the camera):
I've tried every combination of resolution, frame rate, bit rate, etc. on the Panasonic. They ALL work when connected to the LG TV, but there is still no output when connected to the HDMI to SDI converter and Decklink capture card. I've even tried matching what works from the Sony camera (1080i/30), but the capture card doesn't seem to acknowledge any input.
I've swapped HDMI cables and SDI cables, but no change. I am at my wits end and I'm open to any suggestions this wonderful might provide?
(hopefully I've provided enough detail above to assist with troubleshooting)
Thanks!

Panasonic HC-X1 (HDMI) -> HDMI to SDI converter (Monoprice or Blackmagic micro - neither worked) -> Blackmagic Decklink Duo 2 SD Capture card
Signal chain 2 (that works):
Sony FD-AX53 (HDMI) -> HDMI to SDI converter (Monoprice - it's the only one that worked) -> Blackmagic Decklink Duo 2 SD Capture card
Signal chain 3 (this works, but was just to test the HDMI output from the camera):
Panasonic HC-X1 (HDMI) -> LG OLED TV
