sdi flicker

PostFri Aug 23, 2013 10:25 am

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this;
I have a TVlogic vfm-056w that i use with the bmcc mft, and it flickers, not much but slightly annoying. If i plug the camera into my jvc grading monitor there's no flicker, likewise if i plug my tvlogic monitor into another camera there's no flicker - anyone else has the same set-up? And same issue?

thanks

do you use a splitter / HDMI converter in the chain? We were using the Blackmagic Battery Converter SDI - HDMI to get a HDMI signal to another external monitor and looped the SDI to the TVLogic 056WP. We had similar problems doing so, after updating the firmware of the converter to the latest version the problem was solved.

No, no splitter - just sdi cable from camera to monitor - tried different power solutions for the monitor aswell. Anywho - not a big problem, just a bit annoying...
