Marshall monitor displaying green tint or signal loss after power cycling during shoots

What the thread found
- A Marshall monitor may display a green-tinted picture or lose signal after the camera is powered down and back on during a shoot, despite using multiple cables and direct wiring.
- Temperature fluctuations can cause Marshall monitors to display green tint or signal dropout, and cycling through the side monitor switches and buttons typically resolves the issue.
- Low battery voltage to the monitor can produce similar symptom patterns to temperature-related problems.
- The issue may occur intermittently, typically appearing after the first half of a shoot or following equipment power cycles, and can happen with different camera models like the Varicam and AF100.
Depends on
- The exact Marshall model was not clearly confirmed in the thread (possibly V-LCD70XP-3GSDI or 6.5" daybright).
- No definitive solution was confirmed by the monitor manufacturer during the discussion.
- The issue occurred with cameras from different manufacturers (Panasonic Varicam and AF100), suggesting it may be monitor-specific rather than camera-specific.
- Participants did not reach consensus on whether the root cause was temperature, power delivery, or a firmware interaction.
