We are running a Cannon XA10 camera that feeds into a Roland V-1HD Switcher. That switcher outputs to a few TV's and Livestream that we do for our production. On Sunday the camera feed randomly cut out and the switcher button for that feed was flashing white. After testing for a few hours today I can randomly reproduce the issue and so I am wondering if anybody has any ideas on what the issue can be. I will list below some of the stuff I have tried when it comes to troubleshooting.
The cabling that goes between the two consists of a mini hdmi to hdmi cable (5ft) then to a hdmi connector finally to an hdmi cable that is 15ft long that runs to the video switcher. I have replaced each part of the connection 3 different times. (I.E used three different mini hdmi cables, 3 different hdmi connectors, and 3 different hdmi cables) I have used them in different combinations and still will randomly receive this issue.
After reading the manual for the Roland switcher it suggests that the input does not match what the switcher is outputting which can be the cause of the blinking white light. I have checked all the settings I could find to make sure they match and nothing seems out of place.
What confuses me is the issue/problem would seem like a cabling issue but if that was the case through my troubleshooting I would have found a fix. If it was a setting issue then why did it randomly start when we have been using the same setup for a few months now? So now I am here scratching my head with no idea what the problem could be. Does anybody have any suggestions or things I should try to help with the troubleshooting? Any help is appreciated and I thank you for your time!
