SOLVED:

So the mini HDMI cable was very loose. I used some jewelry pliers to crimp the male connector and made a tighter connection, now It works!

Pre-solve Update:

So it seems that the problem is jnfact the mini HDMI port on the camera itsself. If I hold it in VERY firm ajd at a specific angle, I can get it to send signal for 2 seconds before it disconnects again.

This is very sad, as a fix doesn’t seem to exist, and I can’t afford to send it out for repairs. Belgium bummer.

A friend gave me a Panasonic LUMIX GH4 a while ago. I got it working using the mini HDMI out on the camera and this capture card and through a powered USB hub (also tested through direct to PC). Now after refiguring my setup, I had to disconnect my camera from my setup for a few minutes to move things around. However everything was turned off before disconnecting. I plugged everything back in, and now my source on streamlabs displays my capture card as just a black screen. It registers that it is connected, but there is nothing going through. could it be a setting in the GH4 that got reset, the HDMI port on my GH4 is faulty, could it be the capture card? I’m at a loss and I am very distressed over this. Is there anyone out there, or a community who can help me?

    Well, can’t argue with the price lol.

    At least when the port finishes failing they can be replaced by most electronics repair shops for not too expensive. So you won’t be out a camera.
