What the thread found

• When routing an SDI signal from a RED camera through an AJA converter and then to a monitor via a Modulus device, the monitor may lose signal despite the camera outputting video
• Weak SDI signal strength traveling through a long cable run can be disrupted by electromagnetic interference from powered devices like the Modulus unit
• RED cameras support multiple simultaneous SDI outputs
• Powering external hardware like the Modulus from a separate battery rather than the camera battery can affect signal integrity

Depends on

• The issue occurred with a specific RED camera build version
• Setup involved a Steadicam rig with particular hardware configuration
• The root cause was not definitively confirmed in the discussion
• The successful previous attempts at this configuration suggest the problem may be build-specific or setup-specific rather than a fundamental design issue
