Decimator displaying washed out grey in bright image areas
14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- False color mode on the device can create appearance of washed out highlights
- Testing with different input sources helps isolate whether the issue originates from the decimator or the camera
- Using a different monitor can help determine if the problem is in the display device rather than the decimator
- The F3 camera can output SD and HD natively via SDI connection without requiring a downconverter
- Switching power sources may help rule out power-related issues
- A termination issue can cause similar visual artifacts and should be investigated by testing with alternate cameras
Depends on
- The original poster did not definitively identify the cause
- Testing was incomplete at time of discussion
- Issue may have also appeared on another camera model but was not confirmed
- Photograph provided was out of focus
- No resolution to the problem was documented in the thread
