Doesn't work with Lumix cameras - read first

I received the device and it worked perfectly on my Vixia and GoPro 3+ camcorder with mini HDMI and micro HDMI cables respectively. However, I couldn't get it to work with any of my Lumix cameras, neither the GH3 nor the G7. I emailed the product's customer service and they advised that the sync process in Panasonic camera devices is different from their product and does not work with Panasonic cameras. But since I already had HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI converters (also from Wiistar), I was able to use the converters as a bypass for the output from Panasonic cameras and it worked. I only used a 6" SDI cable to connect both converters. But otherwise the capture device worked fine, no issues. OBS, Zoom, Skype and Webex. 4 stars due to incompatibility issues with Panasonic cameras. I have my webcam with one Gifted to a friend so had to keep the capture device as webcam prices have skyrocketed and for the price this capture device has served us well for the last month and a half 1080p at 60 fps confirmed.

Pros
  • understandable even for the old
Cons
  • looks
