Diagonal blue lines on CinemonitorIII monitor with RED camera and AJA downconverter

What the thread found
- Diagonal blue lines appearing on a CinemonitorIII can indicate that the wrong video format standard has been selected on the monitor.
- The CinemonitorIII contains a STANDARD menu setting where users must manually select between PAL and NTSC formats rather than relying on auto-detection.
- The STANDARD menu setting on the CinemonitorIII is located alongside options for screen color choices, which can make it easy to overlook or confuse with other settings.
Depends on
- The solution was specific to one operator's particular setup and mistake.
- The original cause of the issue in this case was user error rather than a defect or incompatibility.
