Sony NEX5R downlink & OSD

Hello,

I'm trying to use my Sony NEX5 camera as a FPV camera using this HDMI AV converter :
http://www.himodel.com/FPV_Telemetry...ony_5N_5R.html

My config is the following:
- I use a readymaderc Video Tx and receiver.
-The above mentioned HDMI converter is powered directly by the battery of the The NEX5 camera. This converter sends out only Video, Audio and ground signals (no +5v out).
-The Video Tx is powered by a 3S lipo.

Without MinimOSD, if I connect the "video out" + ground lines of the hdmi converter to the video Tx, everything works fine. I get a stable image on the monitor.

Now if I add the minimosd in between, I get a rolling/flickering image. And the OSD overlay comes in and out and does not update.

Has anyone had the same issue and found a way to solve it ?

My connection diagram is the following :

(see attachment as I did not find a way to insert image inline)

MinimOSD config: version 1.1, firmware 2.0 and corresponding character set loaded via the GUI tool.
Also I did another test using a readymaderc fpv camera (PAL, 600TVL) : i get a stable image with minimOSD overlay on the video but no OSD values are updated (only the artificial horizin moves but all other values are zero : current, voltage, long, lat, etc). Why is that ? (I configured in mission planner the SR3 parameters as davised on the wiki)

So my questions:
-Did I wire something wrong ?
-Did I configure something wrong ?
-Is MinimOSD incompatible with PAL cameras ?
-Is MinimOSD incompatible with this specific SOny NEX5 camera ?

Thx for any help to setup it up right
