PYXIS 6K Recording Problem

PostSat Jan 18, 2025 11:59 pm

I have been prepping a Pyxis for a job next week an have run into a pretty big problem with the camera.

When the record button is pressed the camera momentary powers down, then goes briefly into a playback menu then starts rolling. I have tried the camera powered from multiple highquility BPU batterys and through a hawkwoods 12v regulated v mount plate using hawkwood 98wh batts, via a dtap from the plate and also from the battery via lemo and the issue happens with every one of those power options. So kind of ruling out power.

I have tried two different cards that are Angelbird 1TB AV PRO CFexpress B SE. My next test will be using a SSD from the USB C.

I have a dropbox link of a video of the issue but I cant post URLs in this forum.

Asking for advice and help, interestingly when you go to hit the playback button the same thing happens but it starts to record! So I cant even playback clips by using that button. very weird.
