Another great rundown. I’m a big fan of the Decimator MD-HX. I have lost count of how many times it has solved problems for me!

[@randomgeocacher]

That Lumantek looks pretty cool!

[@MadeBySpencer]

This video is greatly appreciated

[@TomSykesMedia]

Great video buddy thank you

[@JustinVodden]

Thanks for this great content and info!

[@pbelb]

Really helpful video!

[@bhwhprods]

Great video 👍🏼 You are seriously tooled up 😁

[@NickDrinks]

Awesome video. Definitely grabbing that Lumantek unit.

What about hdmi testers? Is there a tool that can help me understand if my cable is sending/receiving a good signal? I work in an environment where cables, and connectors unfortunately, get abused constantly and troubleshooting problems is always a hassle because we don't have either the time nor a monitor on hand

[@buildingsheriff]

You need to get out more, Doug! Seriously good advice though. Thank you.

[@mdadmin]

Super video! I applauded for $10.00 👏👏👏

[@djp_video]

Thank you! 😃

Can the RF Explorer be used to scan for wireless video transmission? I'm wondering if it can be use to find available frequencies for wireless video transmitters (Cinegears Ghost-Eye 600MP)

[@djp_video]

You'd be able to see that there is a signal and its strength, but that's about it.

[@RDUBTutorial]

Like most of your stuff this is a Great video. I’m always trying to figure out what may be interfering with video transmitters/receivers and wifi devices whos physical positions and proximity are constantly being shuffled around all day on set. Any good new devices for that sort of trouble shooting? …preferably Mac compatible if a computer is required?

[@djp_video]

You'd need something that picks up more than just WiFi, so you're looking at a spectrum analyzer or Software-Defined Radio (SDR). RF Explorer: 2.4 GHz only: amzn.to/49hASeM or 2.4 and 5/6 GHz: amzn.to/3VI4Ghu I'm not going to make a specific product SDR product recommendation.

[@RDUBTutorial]

Follow up question about the Lumentek SDI w screen. How do you power it with out access to AC outlet? Is there a USB adapter that can power it from a battery. Can’t find specs on the dc input of the device to turn search for an adapter

[@jameslouviere9987]

Great videos. Question: I signed up on discord, but can't find your page/discussion board? Help:)

[@djp_video]

Follow the djp.li/discord link and it should take you right there.

[@SportFlow]

Missing some Tektronix stuff in your set of analysis tools ;)

[@djp_video]

I'd love to have some, but it's a bit out of my budget.

[@gkmediadrive8080]

Can You give me an example of SDRs on Amazon to watch out for?

[@djp_video]

They're mostly all the same. Find one that has the right connectivity for you and high ratings and you'll be fine.

[@JDGourley]

Wish there were a cheaper SDI to SDI frame rate and scaler. I feel like there should be cheaper than the ones that also do HDMI.

[@djp_video]

It would be nice. But the BMD UpDownCross HD isn't too expensive.

[@gkmediadrive8080]

When you find the tool for troubleshooting "Microphone level audio" let me be the first to know.. 😁
