Question regarding using genlock with the HD-SDI capture card....
We are currently feeding our Axon HD-SDI from an Aux output of the Grass Valley Kayak switcher. Without genlock, the signal is unusable as it has jitters and lock ups. When I hook up genlock (Tri-Level Sync), I get a beautiful signal. However, after some time, it seems like the Axon is no longer syncing to the genlock and I have to reboot. At the top of the day (after sitting overnight), the signal is unusable and I have to reboot. After the reboot, I can take the capture card with about a 5-8 frame delay (I can accept that). However, after a couple of hours, it will be 15-20 frames behind or more. By the end of the day, if I don't reboot the server between, I'm back to the unusable signal (approximately 8-9 hours later).
Our genlock/video system is never shut down and tri-level is constantly running. We don't shut down the Axon either as there are cues that are triggered when we are away. Is there anything I can look at/check or does anyone have any ideas what might be causing the drifts?
