Ok, on to my issue. We have a 2 M/E switcher, and a Black Magic Sync generator. When we use the switcher synced, it works fine for a while. But at some point, some (or all sometimes) of the inputs shift a few pixels to the right, goes kind of false color and has vertical lines through the image. This never happens when we are running un-synced. We want to run with sync because we want to lower the latency (for better lip sync at our live events.)
Our setup normally includes the following:
1 Panasonic AG-HPX370
2 Panasonic AW-HE120's
1 Sony BRCZ700
1 Mac Pro HDMI (sometimes using BlackMagic's HDMI-SDI box)
2 M/E ATEM Switcher
1 M/E ATEM Control Surface
We have had this problem on many firmware versions, and were current the last time it happened (last month).
I have attached an example of it happening on one of the inputs. I used two outputs from the same camera as a test, but it happens when I have multiple cameras as well.
Well I would have, but the forum is telling me that I can't attach a .mp4 So I have uploaded it to Vimeo.
Wow. Not really sure what is causing that. I have honestly not seen anything like your video before. So a quick question. You have checked that you have sync running from the SPG to all your cameras and that those cables are all of good quality? Let me know your answers and if necessary we can look into this deeper. Good luck!
