I just bought a 8" Ikan V8000 HDMI monitor for my HPX 170 and connected them using the sdi out on the camera through bnc but I get no image on the monitor. I've tried every port on the monitor but get nothing. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

the ikan doesnt have SDI in. as far as i know the only option coming out of your hpx170 is to use the component cable out of the camera connecting to the monitor with 3 rca>bnc adapters
 
From two shoots I with one while our Manhattan was getting repaired, I have to say I developed a real hatred of the Ikan monitors. From the batteries popping out if you looked at it wrong, to the craptastic colors and underwhelming image quality. Granted it was a rental and I did not have time to perfectly calibrate it, but it kinda gave me a bad impression of ikan and I have to say that for my $$$ I would go for manhattan. The manhattan my AC brought on the first day of the shoot, and by the 3rd day atleast 3 people on set wanted to buy one, and the director offered my AC cash for it.
 
I've owned several Ikans...glutton for punishment...component is the only decent input. Batteries are still being used when they're off...poor battery connection and image is soft. Plus, if you ever plan on contacting Clint...don't expect an answer.
The best solution I've found...at a reasonable price is http://www.smallhd.com/dp1/
Good 'ole USA technology.

I agree the colors are not great, but Ikan has always given me good service and the monitor is good for its price. Just depends what your going to use it for.

good call jimmy. i had the very first retail ikan off the line. and it served me well until i sold it for a more expensive product. it has its plus and minus points. but at the price, its really hard to beat.

and i also never had any problem with their service...
