Vidiot - Getting Started

Hi wednesdayayay, thanks so much for the reply …

I tried your advice: I’ve tried different sources, and different monitors, and I’ve tried from the Luma output, and I’ve tested every knob and switch and possible combination I can think of, but I get the same results …

Here’s a “Part 2” of my situation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPlZH3gFiWQ

Same results. I’ve tried patching every witch-way and playing with all knobs and switches, but nothing ever changes.

Also, maybe this is a dumb question but …

If I remove my source all-together, I just get a black screen: Nothing. No matter how many combinations of knobs and switches, it will be a black screen.

Here’s a quick “Part 3” that shows what I mean - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LcTBHYMZtQ

It seems it could be a similar problem that this user had - Vidiot - Troubleshooting

In that case, the recommendation is to take the Vidiot apart and Twist the Ribbon Cable - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpiPMf4VLQE

So, my questions are …

  1. Is the behavior you see, from my video test, is that normal?
  2. If it is normal, is it just matter of patching things in order to get it working?
  3. If I use NO SOURCE, is it normal to just have a black screen there? Or does Vidiot generate visuals even without a source?

Thanks again for your help!
