ISNT THERE A LITTLE ADAPTER that could solve this issue?

This issue is actually prevalent specifically with 12G SDI not 3G and HD-SDI. This is a great video as we should always follow best practices! However a few things can mitigate the issue.. 12G SDI cables by Canare and Belden that are shielded, and LEMO 2 and 3 pin power cables that have a shield as well. The issue is specifically problematic with D-TAP (unshielded) and 3G unshielded SDI cable.. At our rental facility we have brought in a full stock of shielded SDI 12G and got them in bright RED so we can differentiate visually between those and the unshielded variant. As well we are configuring all our Komodo and other 12G cameras to use Lemo power cables where possible rather then d-tap.. just an added 2c.. great vid though!

@@ryanjosephdp While shielded 12G cables and lemo power does mitigate the issue significantly. Its a good habit to train yourself to remove SDI before removing power cables. Also to be clear, if both power and SDI cables are connected then powering up and down your Komodo will not damage the SDI port. Pulling the SDI cable is suggested to be done BEFORE removing the power cable (D-tap or Lemo). The issue is caused specifically when the SDI is connected without the power cable while a battery is installed allowing the SDI cable to conduct ground..

​@@wyldflowerfilmwerks6008 What do you have plugged into your Varicam? After going through this whole problem, of course, in the middle of the biggest shoot of my life, I had a few things plugged in improperly. First, follow Red's protocol for unplugging / plugging in SDI cables (It's a PITA, but is good insurance). Sorry don't know link, but just search for it. Second, don't go overboard with splitters and / or power routing. I think this second issue was more the problem for me. I had changed my power routing for a steadicam rig and ran an external battery setup in a strange way. If running external power, just keep it simple and making sure to use high quality battery plates like Wooden Camera (with built in fuses) or the main plate on the back of the camera (which has a fuse). When I talked with the tech who fixed the camera at Panasonic, he said I essentially blew a 20amp fuse inside the camera, which meant there was a huge power surge. All the main boards were fine. That was good, because it only cost $1000 ;( instead of who knows what? But it was frustrating that, if Panasonic had made the fuse user accessible it would've been like a dollar to fix. DON'T TRY AND OPEN THE CAMERA. The engineer told me repeatedly, for any future problems not to try and open it, because it's extremely complicated inside and takes about 2 hours to get to. But camera manufacturers need to let people access these kind of things, on cameras this costly, because it would save a lot of money and time in the field. Once he fixed it and I followed the above two steps, we filmed for the next 6 weeks, not a single problem with the camera. Not sure what you did specifically, but hopefully you figure it out and it never happens again.

The problem is different. Many people power their systems with a single power source and power distributor plates. When one cable loses ground connection, the power for this might run over another device, frying this device because of the extra load. That happens with batteries as well, when everything runs from one V-lock battery.

L4KGI-01 - Overview LEN Limited Protects your Operators and Equipment from shock damage during installation...Eliminates interference during operation! The LEN galvanic isolators use broadband high-pass filters to provide isolation of DC currents between two pieces of equipment, whilst permitting the full bandwidth of the 4K SDI signal to pass, so avoiding problems of signal distortion and operator shocks caused by a voltage difference. This method far out-performs broadband transformers for SDI signals. Both the signal and the ground paths between equipment are isolated, there is no distortion of the signal. Another problem with coaxial cable use, that is solved by the LEN 4K Isolator, is in applications such as Outside Broadcast, where large voltages can build up on the outer cable shield due to different ground potentials at each end of the cable run, producing a spark as the cable is connected to its destination connector. This is particularly a problem in drier parts of the world. The LEN 4K SDI Video Galvanic Isolator is offered in two options. Option one is an in-line 'barrel', suitable for portable applications, and option two has a mounting flange at one end to facilitate rack-panel mounting, for applications such as tailboard feedthrough. Our Engineers at LEN have called on their long experience working with ultra-high frequency filter design for the Military to produce a product that is compliant to the SMPTE 6G and 12G specifications and fully tested on high end Vector Network Analyzers. We understand what is needed to design good product at such very high frequencies. Operation over coax at 4K / 12G has been awaiting the release of companion products to the LEN 4K Isolators, such as 12G rated BNC connectors and coaxial cable. These are now reaching the marketplace.

Turning your camera / monitor on and off, after you've plugged everything in (in the correct order of course), you have established a common ground and you shouldn't have any problem doing that. It's when you plug power cables in and the pins don't connect in the correct order and that then sends power through the SDI cable and completes the circuit. Unfortunately, it's sending the power into a sensitive low voltage SDI chip, which is why it gets fried.

Okay, help a brother out.....if I've got a monitor and I'm powering the monitor with it's own Sony NPF battery.....and I'm powering my Komodo with a battery on the back........I would turn on my monitor first, connect the sdi to it.....turn on the camera, then connect the sdi to the camera ............. when turning off the camera ( to change battery on monitor etc...)...........just disconnect the sdi from camera first?
