RCA Sync adapter

[rempesm]

Here’s another hacky approach to getting RCA sync to the inside of your case with a Cadet I–just wire up redundant RCA connectors in parallel!

I have both rear connectors routed to a rear panel I use to keep RCA cable clutter out of my usual patch cable spaghetti. Top goes to the genlock input and bottom is the buffered RCA out for loopthrough. They’re basically just redundant connectors for the front panel.

Of course, you do need to have something plugged into the genlock input for anything to come out of the bottom RCA out.

Ignore the circled part, that’s how I implemented the pull up/down resistors on the VCXO with a switch based on this discussion:

Cadet RGB Encoder + BMD Mini Analog->SDI =

Hi All, I have a Blackmagic Design Analog to SDI Mini Converter that doesn’t seem to like the composite video from my Cadet RGB Encoder. The symptom is a very jittery picture that jumps sideways. I’ve tested the 525i SDI signal into both a BMD Web Presenter and an ATEM Studio HD (current model) with the same results. I tested with a cheap Canon camcorder and got even worse results (dropouts), but I get a clean conversion with my Andor 1. Any ideas? Thanks!
