Datapath flashing video signal?

[Peter]

Hi all,

Has anybody had a flashing video signal on the beamers when using a datapath? It's random, not all the time and not on all the outputs.
All cabling is VGA max 30m but not DA'd for the moment.
Could it be a power issue?

Thanks,

Peter

I work with a ton of Datapaths and have come across two failed units that continually flash. In my experience when they fail in this way, you can open the control software and see the input frequency changing constantly. I had one just the other day reporting 3840x1080 @ 520,000 hz!

Not sure if that's your specific issue as you say it doesn't happen all the time, but if you connect a pc with control software you can find out pretty quick.

it was a bad new dvi cable, replaced it and worked wonderfully
