>>Do the flashes occur constantly dring cue playback - or just at the start of the cue?. <<
>>Does it happen at the same q point - or randomly during cue playback? <<

within playing cues at random points.


>>re smart-e's - are they powered from both ends? <<

Transmitter end only. But please expand further on this as I am rapidly losing faith in these units. The white flashes are occurring on the local G5 monitors though, so unless the smart Es could cause this on the loop through rather than the CAT5 bit I think this can be discounted.


>>what is the cable route?
is it screened or un-screened cat 5 cable?<<

Clean route on cable tray in brand new UTP

>>what version of catalyst are you running and what MAC OS is installed?
Who were the servers hired from?<<

This is a standard XL Video hire system used as prepped.

Any thoughts on the freeze issue?. halfway through a cue 1 screen freezes 1 screen carries on playing. It's only happened twice in three weeks and the control room was rather warm on both occassions.

Thanks
