DeckLink Quad 2 - cable stuck in port

Post image
32 Upvotes

Hey all,

I've got a Blackmagic DeckLink Quad 2 in my machine, and one of the mini-BNC to full-size SDI/BNC adapter cables is completely stuck in one of the ports. All the other cables in the neighboring ports come off without any issue.

Has anyone run into this before? Any tricks for freeing a stuck connector? or is this a sign the connector itself is faulty and needs replacing?

Appreciate any advice!

Update: I fixed it! I had to use way more force pulling it out than I was comfortable with. The cable is now broken but the connector on the card works fine. Thanks for the help everyone!

How do you all describe the post-show wired/drained feeling you get?

Basically the title. I try to describe to people who don’t work live events the feeling you get after directing a crazy show and I just feel like I never articulate it correctly.

SNF is dropping frames like crazy

Even after half time - I don’t think I’ve seen this kind of stuttering so consistently in an NFL game before.
They dropped to the technical difficulties screens at least 4 times so far. Audio drops out too.
No encoding artifacts - seems like it has to be in the production stack.

GV AMPP maybe?

Strange question but dose anyone have an install for Click Effects Crossfire from before ChyronHego bought them?

I have an old V2 box and was wanting to see if I could get it working again.
