Using 4.4 build m365

Had 2 outputs running at 1600 x 1200.

4 layers running movies - AIC codec mid res.

1 layer running a phoenix sdi input.

All layers suddenly froze. no movement on any layer including live capture

Brought faders down and the layers faded out ok.

I switched my local monitor on the matrix to see output locally on that machine and brought faders back and everything was ok.

I'm just curious as to why!! Any ideas anyone?

Without knowing more information this sound like one of two problems.

1. Your video card got too hot and didn't render for a moment
2. The frame buffer for playback saturated and froze.

There is also a possible anomaly that your control signal flickered the playback state and Cat interpreted as a change of play mode to pause.

Have you seen this again? If so, can you describe what exactly happened. Also, can you define the hardware and signal path.
