Blackmagic Design CINSTUDMFT/H/SC Reviews
Regular flickering every few minutes or less. 125' Cat 6A.
Love the idea behind these. The variety of outputs is invaluable and they're excellent... IF you don't have very long cable runs. I'm not sure where the threshold is exactly, but even the box with our shortest Cat 6A cable of 125' had a flickering problem. Q & A answer from Blackmagic says it should be fine up to at least 150'. Apparently video over ethernet is not quite perfected in these. After troubleshooting ourselves and over the phone with Blackmagic support, over the course of two years and one return/exchange we could not get the video outputs from these to stop flickering every one to three minutes. Before you go blaming a wrong setting, other hardware, etc., when we bypass these converters with straight SDI cables, the flicker is gone. Tried pinning our own Cat 6A and also tried pre-pinned Laird Digital Cinema Cat 6A cables. Not sure how anyone expects to record at the studio end with these. Fortunately, we record directly on our cameras, but monitoring and sending video to a projector was an issue. Ended up selling back to B & H.
Great when working
Two out of 4 failed within the first couple months. B&H was great at replacing them, but the rate of failure over such short period raises anxiety over reliability and longevity of this equipment. Otherwise the converter is a very cost-effective alternative to fiber optic which can be cost-prohibitive. It works well with both the Studio Camera 4k pro and 6k pro.
