The IDX Cam Wave receiver outputs an HD-SDI signal with no PAL output option, so monitor compatibility and frame rate settings must be verified when experiencing rolling image problems.
Early firmware versions of the IDX Cam Wave had issues transmitting certain frame rates, particularly 24psf, which caused rolling or incompatible video signals on monitors.
Firmware updates for the IDX Cam Wave became available approximately 8 months prior to this discussion to resolve frame rate compatibility issues, and current production units shipped with the corrected firmware already installed.
The IDX Cam Wave functioned without major issues when used with a Panasonic Varicam and appropriate monitor setup after the firmware revision.
Frame rate compatibility problems can be resolved by contacting IDX with the unit's serial number to check the firmware revision and determine if an update is needed.

The discussion does not specify which exact frame rates were problematic beyond mentions of 24psf and 23.98.
It is unclear whether rolling image issues persisted after the user obtained firmware updates or attempted other troubleshooting steps.
The timeline references are relative to 2009 and may not apply to current production units.
One user's successful experience does not confirm the issue was fully resolved for all users or configurations.
