Redvolt Expander SDI Question

[Zach Rockenstyre]

I'm on a Epic-W with a Redvolt Expander and I haven't been able to get a clean SDI feed on one SDI output and an overlay on a second one. Is this just potentially a firmware fix away or am I missing something in the monitoring menu? I've heard the OMODs have this feature but can't get it rocking on my Redvolt Expander. I know you can do it with HDMI/SDI, but not the two SDI ports?

Zach,

As far as I am aware SDI1 and SDI2 are not capable of independent outputs. I have scoured the manual and I can see no way of doing it and I have never managed it on my Redvolt Expander module although I have yet had the need.

Zach, I´ve been in contact with Red support when I got mine. Unfortunately both SDI outputs always carry the same signal. Very frustrating, I used to enjoy the different SDI ports on my Pro I/O with DSMC1 and never even wasted a thought this could be different with the new line. Actually there are some points that definitely are a step back moving to DSMC2 from DSMC1, odd. Cheers, Ulf

Thanks guys, glad to hear I'm not just missing some simple checkbox in the menu or something. Fingers crossed this is something the nerds on the Red firmware squad can add with a future firmware update. I too inquired with Red a bit and they encouraged me to post here to get some +1s on the feature request and potential input from people in the right departments/chain of command.

+1 on this for me too.

Thanks
