I don’t have a definitive answer, only a suggestion.
Try using a DVI -> HDMI cable, DVI out of the switcher, HDMI into the monitorPhil Senger

Thanks Jim,
I never really thought about HD over component, that is a great idea.

Something like this: https://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-switchersdandrouters/cat-switchers/product-AWSG500E/
with remote cameras. The Anycast has built-in remote camera operation, and pretty much negates any downstream need for an additional streaming server. Quite a popular unit and I imagine it could be rented quite easily.Phil Senger

I pretty much do as Peter does, rotate hard drives out the KiPro, off load them using FW 800 to a RAID drive. Doesn’t take to long to move 200GB over FW 800, I do like the esata solution though, I’ll have to look into it. Fortunately , I don’t have any PC’s in the mix, makes things a bit simpler. You may want to think about using CD’s nano-flash. I haven’t used it, but my workflow is Apple based, right down to FCP. My supplier is trying to get me to use these as replacements to the KiPro when I have clients not using FCP, perhaps using AVID instead.

I would suggest using a quality barrel, I know some are actually endorsed for HD/SD-SDI. I have had on numerous occasions a cheap barrel fail, in fact, sometimes the guts fall out completely. The higher quality barrels are much more robust and feel (cause it’s all about the feel) much better.

My guess, it’s the switcher, especially graphics switchers. You’ll find a lot of talk in these forums about frame delay. A good FOH audio guy can help alleviate the lip flap. Sometimes it’s the chain of switchers, camera switcher into graphic switcher all introducing a bit of delay.

I can totally relate to what Joel stated, PBP is an excellent product, has also made me look good. Just to add to comment about dropping frames, when I spoke with the guys at DT Videolabs, they stressed that all video content should be running from a RAID 0 array, especially important if your running HD. I have run SD content from the hard drive, but depending on the codec it can be choppy.

Not sure if this will do it, but worth a look:

I have done it, I use a dedicated graphic switcher and use the PIP feature. Not a cost effective way of doing it, unless you have a shelf full of switchers. You could also look for an inexpensive multi-viewer, even though I’m not sure such a thing exists.

Just a quick note, all BNC are not the same. Old school BNC was either a composite signal (same as RCA in consumer) or component (need three to generate proper colour/ signal). Nowadays, BNC is used for HD/SD-SDI signals, some switchers will have the ability to switch output formats. I believe the HMX-100 is an SDI switcher, I doubt it has the ability to do composite, but I don’t have one so I could be wrong. It may have a composite out just for monitoring, but again I’m not 100% sure. I did a quick google search and it looks to be SDI in/out.
