UltraBrite2 monitor display distortion when Alexa records to external Odyssey 7Q recorder
What the thread found
- Display distortion on an UltraBrite2 monitor can occur when an Alexa camera outputs to an external recorder, and checking the camera's project settings for dual output configuration may resolve the issue.
- Recording to an Odyssey 7Q external recorder in raw mode requires two BNC connections from the camera's recorder outputs, not just the monitor output connection.
- The Odyssey 7Q requires two memory cards operating in high-speed mode to record raw footage from an Alexa camera.
Depends on
- The initial troubleshooting focused on monitor settings rather than camera settings, suggesting the exact cause was not definitively identified.
- Only one instance of this problem was reported in the discussion.
- The camera model was described as an older Alexa with ProRes 4444HD internal recording capacity but specific model designation was not provided.
