Two red lights on Red Rocket

[James Drake]

Maybe I haven't spent enough time looking inside my computer case... but I don't remember these two red lights on the Red Rocket card



I've put in a support ticket for a manual of some kind for the Red Rocket in hopes of getting some kind of key to read if these lights are indicating an error or not. Haven't heard from the Red Support team, it's been a few days.

It wouldn't concern me so much, except that the card is struggling now to play back 1/2 resolution and never had that issue before.

I have had flakey performance due to SATA plugs beginning to come apart due to sideloads. I see you may have curved your SATA cables instead of elbow-folding them to reduce sideloads. The vibration of fans and drives sometimes cause the video board connection to the motherboard to get a bit resistive through movement and debris buildup. The clamp-style SATA plugs I prefer but none are ideal as there is not deep enough shoulder support.

The red lights are normally on.

ok, thanks for confirming Matthew.

Thanks for the tip on SATA connectors Robert!

Also, if you are in REDcine-X Pro and have enabled effects (alchemy, film look, etc) on the clip, playback will be slower.
