100% color bars wrong through miniconverters

PostFri May 25, 2018 5:55 pm

When running my video switch through mini converters my 100% color bar test pattern does not pass the color yellow or cyan properly, photo below with and without. 75% color bar test pattern works fine. My converters are up to date. My signal flow is Barco DCS-100 output > DVI to HDMI cable > MiniConverter HDMI to SDI 4K > 6G-SDI cable > MiniConverter SDI to HDMI 4K > HDMI cable > Any display HDMI input.

Any advice or thoughts would be much appreciated by me!

Is your HzdMI cable a new wide bandwidth cable, or an older one, which could be part of the problem, adding a co,or shift on some colors?

Hmm, maybe a REC.2020 vs REC.709 color space issue?

The Barco is RGB output by DVI. ;) The monitor will pick it up as RGB and handle acordingly.

The miniconverter seems to pick YUV and there is your color problem.. ;) Check if you can switch to YUV mode in the Barco. Or maybe a setting in the miniconverter to force it in RGB mode?
