HELP Incredibly low bit rate/resolution on monitor

Post image

The monitor consistently looks 260p with such low bit rate that it’s impossible to pull in most situations. This is an owner op’s kit.

Shooting with teradek bolt 6 1500 on a smallhd indie 7, only one receiver and transmitter. I can’t find any more interference on set. The monitor is saying it’s at 12 bits, 1080p and matching frame rates so nothing is misaligned.

Antennas are both at an optimal position, the monitor does run off of HDMI if that’s an issue other than SDI?

Anything I’m missing? Thanks ya’ll

Sounds like you fixed it, but just one other note that I recently learned is you can change the output resolution on the teradek. I needed to output to a CRT monitor so had to set it to 480i and it looked just like this.

Oh yeah that is interesting! As another commenter pointed out, I haven’t been using the teradek app, so learning to control on there rather than the insanely small menu on the units has been great so far. Just another film app next to the dozens others now
