Re: HVR-s270 HD SDI output connector problem

Thanks David.
Yes, it is intermittent and yes, it looks like the pens that form the female connection have spread. Have you noticed the female BNC for the HD SDI is different than the other 5 BNC connectors? The component video BNCs, the video out and TC out BNCs are constructed using a plastic cylinder that surrounds the gold plated female connector and prevents this problem. The SDI BNC connector is missing this plastic cylinder.

In the case of the 2 cameras I had intermittent SDI issues with, neither had many hours of them and very few SDI uses, having always used component or composite field monitors when shooting.

Thanks again for you help. I should have caught that one myself.
