  • 1.  Carbonite Solo Audio Crackle

    Posted 02-08-2020 16:42
    Problem experiencing: Installed a Carbonite Solo with two computers using propresenter. When playing clips from Propresenter, at random audio would start to crackle, which crackling would get worse over time. I have 5 venues using the same files and programs with no problem. I have replaced all hardware except the Carbonite Solo and the and audio console. Equipment: I have a two Mac mini’s using ProPresenter both connected to a Blackmagic ultra studio mini (usb-c), connected to a Ross Carbonite solo (sdi). I am taking a program output from the Carbonite solo and dembedding it using an Ampactic de-embedder into a Yamaha TF5. The two Ultrastudios and Carbonite Solo are getting reference from an AJA Sync generator. Troubleshooting: Have swapped sdi cables, de-embedder, sync generator, and Ultra studio. I cannot seem to reproduce, the crackle appears on it it’s own and progressively gets worse. Typically occurs on videos at a 20min in point, however it has also occurred on a shorter 3 minute video. Would love any support you can give. Ross has said it’s not the Carbonite Solo since it’s only passing the audio, not processing.

    Use one of the longer clips that is having this issue -- connect the source around the Carbonite....So Barrel the Input cable to the Output Cable that feeds the dis embedder.  Put the clip on loop and see what happens.

    What happens?
