Re: ATEM TV Studio: Successful HDMI cables?

If I had to guess, and that seems to be as good a method as we have here so far, it would appear that the "sharpness" of the transition, or slew, is what the TVS is most interested in. Obviously, this is largely due to the capacitance of the cables in question - the lower the capacitance, the sharper the transition from off to on, or on to off. Evidently the TVS is very discriminating in this regard, and has little tolerance for gradual transitions. The TVS may also get confused if there is significant crosstalk - again, a guess.

Knowing this now, my only wish is that the TVS had been built with the SDI connections 1-4, and the HDMI connections as 3-6. Not a big deal. Have already spent the $900 or so in BMD converters for HDMI to HD-SDI connections. Still a wonderful product for the $$.
