I think I may have resolved the issue, but it doesn't make sense.
The way the cable routing bt. the cameras, switcher, and Skaarhoj is iss upposed to be set up, and the way I need it set up, is:
1) Each Camera Out to the switcher, and
2) The Skaarhoj RCP goes out to a BMD SDI D.A., which feeds the inputs on each camera.
3) I then was using an Aja sync generator to feed the Ref In on each camera, but I was still having sync issues.
I then removed the sync generator, and changed the camera's sync setting (which I previously didn't know existed) from "External" to "Internal" - still had the problem. But then I changed it to "Program" and voila - the scrolling line went away. I am not sure where it's getting the "Program" sync, nor why the issue was occurring on 2 of the 3 cameras...but for now, it works.
The cable is an interesting thought. Yes, I have the SDI cables and power cable tied together, for neatness. The power cable from each go to the same tri-power supply (IDX 300a), on the other side of a wall. If the problem comes back, I'll look into separating the SDI and power cables. Good thought.
Thanks
