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?

My next step (before driver stuff) would be to figure out where in the chain you are having issues.

(1) check if the camera is working on its own (assuming it can record to internal memory or something). No? Time to troubleshoot the camera.

(2) connect from the camera’s mini hdmi to a tv/monitor and see if you’re getting a picture. No? Time to troubleshoot the hdmi out or hdmi cable.

plug some other hdmi source into the capture card. Does it work? No? Problem is probably with the capture card/computer.

Congrats!

The camera itsself works fine. No issues with the camera proper that I know of, unless it is the mini hdmi port on the camera. I'll definitely be taking it to my TV and plugging it up to see if it works when I get home from work.

I plugged it up to my smart TV. Is it supposed to just automatically display to the TV? Or is there a setting I am supposed to se to make it display through the HDMI?
