Premium Members James Freeman Posted November 9, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Hello All, I have been having an issue with my Steadicam Zephyr. I have recently upgraded my monitor to a Shogun Flame and sometimes when im in a RF intense area (near audio antenna's) my Shogun seems to drop the video signal and when i leave the area, the video comes back. I did modify the original Hirose cable that came with the Zephyr from the 4 pin xlr to a barrel plug so i could power through the same connection.. The SDI cable on that Hirose cable is pretty thin and i believe that it could be that cable that is being affected by interference. Im also suspecting that that maybe its the SDI cabling throughout the rig itself. if anyone has any information on what the issue could be i would greatly appreciate it! Heres the cable that i'm talking about. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/875135-REG/steadicam_807_7510_02_monitor_cable_for_7.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted November 9, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 The Hirose is only rated for SD. Use the separate SDI line for HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members James Freeman Posted November 9, 2016 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Ahhh, That makes sense! I guess i was using that port because it was convenient and kept things tidy. Thanks Mr. Lazaro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, You need to connect the HD line on the front of the top stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
