Hi gang,
Have a show onstage at the moment that is utilizing our video install for what, essentially, is a home slide show/videos. Driven by QLab on a MacMini, I boot the system and it's solid for 2-5 hours, then starts flaking out. It usually starts with some light static flickering into an occasional solid pink flash and finally craps out completely. Sound continues fine. Re-seating the HDMI or the CAT6 cable seems to make everything right again. I have been unable to recreate the issue outside of showtime. So I haven't been able to methodically diagnose.
System:
2013 Quad-Core MacMini; DVI to control monitor and HDMI for projectiion.
QLab v3.0.11 (Haven't updated further due to known video issues.)
3' Pearstone HDMI cable (http://www.pearstone.com/detail?sku=751034) from MacMini to extender transmitter.
KanexPro HDBaseT Extender (http://www.kanexpro.com/item/?id=HDBASE100M)
Less than 200' of CAT6 between Transmitter & Receiver
Another 3' Pearstone from receiver to projector.
BenQ SH960 (http://www.benq.us/product/projector/sh960)
I have:
Tested/swapped out all cables.
Made sure transmitter/receiver are in the open and able to use convection for cooling. (The receiver was getting warm to the touch.) Stays barely above room temp now.
Checked QLab forums.
Checked Mac forums.
Googled all products in chain looking for listed issues from other people.
I installed the line extender last March and added the MacMini in May. This is the first issue I've had with video.
Any advice/thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks!
