SDI monitor chain -full crew filming

[JB Earl]

what are good options for chaining an EVF, focus monitor, and client/director monitor with the Komodo. Worried about latency with EVF and focus monitor...
Is it possible to use a BNC Tee? I've only used Komodo once, had trouble with the wireless image.

I don't think you can use just a Tee but this DA should work

Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI Distribution 4K. $295

Theres a cheaper version if you only need 1080P for $159

Thanks Michael.
Are there any real world builds out there, or is everyone using Komodo for a run and gun?

You can use a T if it’s ended with a 75 ohms cap or a monitor.

 

[JB Earl]

Thanks Patrick, do you mean the tee will work with an EVF on one side, and a focus monitor on the other? I would then go out of the focus monitor to Directors monitor...

 

[Patrick Tresch]

Iv'e done it. But if you disconnect one of them without a 75ohms termination it will cut off the signal.

I'm using the tiny little 12g DA from Freak Show that you can velcro to a battery. Gives you two full strength 12g lines for about $300.
