i have a client that likes to buy product from me and i also design the system, etc recommend cameras etc for project and then they install everything....then i'll get a call when they run into a problem

they hookup 4 cameras using ge fiber transmitter/rx(4cams over 1 multimode fiber) and one of the 4 cams has this picture, other cams are fine - color is a mess - its on the dvr here but i did pull it up on a monitor and its the same after coming out of the fiber but fine before it goes into the fiber. the four 4 channel cards they have in a rack case are all producing the same effect...i didnt have time to fully troubleshoot the problem the other day but wanted t post the pic and see if anyone has any advice or has seen a pic like this

thanks,

I have a few customers with 4 rg-6 to 1 mm fiber system you will need to check video levels at the camera with a meter (CM-2) at the point it goes to fiber and when the fiber rec is when it comes off the fiber. Now a little old school color bar generator set to 1 volt peak to peak at the camera end and make the same tests. After all is said and do you might just have a bad fiber trans or rec. Does a good channel say ch 1 look like this when you move the ch that is good to the ch that is bad.
