Client monitor goes pink! (AVID Import)
Hi,
I did a search and couldn’t find a previous answer for this so here goes:
We are using a Jupiter monitor through a BZB2Gear switcher from a Mac Studio M1 Ultra.
Whenever we select File>Input>Media Import in Avid MC, the entire screen goes pink.
Same for File>Input>Link to Volume for export.
It goes away as soon as we close and it doesn’t affect the computer monitor so it’s not a deal breaker, but it is making the “clients” question our set up as it really shouldn’t be doing this.
Thoughts on how to fix this?

Hey Stevin,
A bit like finding a fly in your soup, and the waiter says, “Don’t worry, we will not charge you extra”…
Clients just love that, maybe not.Joking aside, although not exactly your problem, but sounds like it is the same type of issue that Kylene had with her setup for an installation. As reported in the “Live Events and Streaming” forum:
https://creativecow.net/forums/thread/random-projector-blackouts-since-upgrading-to-apple-silicon/#post-2475259“In case anyone else has this problem, I figured it out. It was a combination of Apple’s inconsistent signal timing during periods of high computer use and its power management system cutting the feed to the external monitors during periods of low computer use (despite the laptop screen itself staying active with the video feed). Swapping the first Blackmagic converter for a Decimator MD-HX fixed Apple’s inconsistent signal timing and adding the Amphetamine app fixed the power management quirk.”
Please let us know if it is Apple Power Management or similar that are making your pictures pink, which is marginally better than a black screen.
Even better, do share with Kylene on her thread too, as if this problem is consistent, maybe Apple needs to step up and fix it.Atb
