Author Topic: NEC1600C problem Jay Speers Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Oakville, Ontario, Canada Registered: Oct 2004 posted 09-17-2012 11:58 PM                        I know some of you have or had these guys... When we boot up and use either the DoReMi or DC20 we get pink fuzz on the screen. It appears to be a cinelink issue. If i turn off the NEC1600C, re-seat the TI card, and fire it back up, everything runs beautifully... If this is a problem with the TI card, how can re-seating it solve the issue? If it isn't, I'm completely stumped as to what it is. Initially we though it was the Media card int he server... thanks  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-18-2012 12:24 AM                     Next time, pull the card and clean the contacts. Maybe this is all what you need to do. It's a common for cards to get funky simply due to dirty contacts on the board and the slot.  |  IP: Logged Pietro Clarici Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Foligno (PG) Italy Registered: Sep 2008 posted 09-18-2012 07:35 AM                        Check the HD-SDI cables, just in case. Had a similar problem with a 1600C, turned out one of the cables had a faulty connector.  |  IP: Logged Geoff Newitt Film Handler Posts: 49 From: FARINGDON, OXFORDSHIRE, UK Registered: Dec 2011 posted 09-18-2012 12:07 PM                     I've seen this 'Cinelink snow' with Doremi servers, and I think both NEC and Christie Series 1 projectors, when the projector is booted up in the morning. Seems to go away if you try running some unencrypted content. I think it may depend which Doremi firmware you're running, as I haven't seen it for a while. Well, that was vague!  |  IP: Logged Jay Speers Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Oakville, Ontario, Canada Registered: Oct 2004 posted 09-18-2012 04:43 PM                        Thanks everyone... We are still fighting with it. It can't be the SDI cables, as content plays. On boot we still need to re-seat the TI card to get rid of the snow. I'll try the unencyrpted content idea tonight though. Also - in looking at the logs, I noticed that we had a chassis intrusion error begin on the day this all began. According to NEC this should go away when you log in to the projector, and it isn't. I've had the sides off since, and it still isn't going away. I'm guessing it's a faulty switch, but do you think this could affect anything?  |  IP: Logged
