Display artifacts in the lower half of the monitor can result from power supply issues within the sled rather than from the converter itself.
The AJA HD10MD3 downconverter automatically adjusts to match the input signal's video standard, making it important to verify that both source camera and monitor are configured for the same standard.
Menu settings on the Red camera that control output signal format can affect compatibility with the downconverter and connected monitor.
Separating the power supplies on the sled from a parallel configuration resolved display distortion issues.

The root cause of the power supply contamination was not conclusively identified.
The solution involved disconnecting sled power supplies but the user wanted further understanding of what originally caused the problem.
Discussion centers on a specific setup combining Red One camera with AJA downconverter and Transvideo monitor in a sled configuration.
