Hi5 and SX Issues

Hello everybody!


I´d like to share a couple of issues I´m dealing with my Hi5 and SX. Maybe someone could throw some light.


I´ve been shooting for about a month in a TV Series and since a week or so this start happened randomly:


Issue nº1:

I´m working with a Hi5 handset which have the Focusbug License installed and when I change Limits or Sensitivity for my CineRT from the Hi5 the screens blinks and immediately lose the horns reading and the Focusbug menu disappears (the assigned user buttons of the Hi5 to control the cinert doesn´t respond either). Everything comes again after rebooting the camera, it doesn´t work if I reboot only the Hi5 (sometimes a have to reboot the camera twice). After rebooting the camera, the changes I´ve made before lose everything doesn´t been applied so I have to do them again and fingercross not to lose everything... again.


Issue nº2:

Also very very randomly, all of the sudden I´m not able to change ISO or ND or Shutter and/or playback from the Hi5. To be more clear, maybe at a specific moment I can change ISO but not WB... or I can change WB but no ND and if happens again is possible to change everything but no playback, the clip(s) doesn´t appear on the screen (pretty random what can and cannot change). Our DIT have an SX handset for Iris and also have the same issue randomly. This can happen sometimes during a day or work perfectly for several continuous days.


What I´ve notice when this happens (I don´t know if is coincidence or what) is that the battery is in a very low percentage (10%...5%...2%.. ) weird uh? and also if the DIT can´t make any of this changes I can´t do it from my handset either or viceversa (but sometimes if one of us can´t the other can.... also weird!). Rebooting the handsets doesn´t solve this but changing the battery yes.


I´m working with: (absolutely everything is update to their latest firmwares)


Alexa35: from the camera mount Lbus/Lbus to the Lcube - from the Lcube Lbus/Cam to the RF motor (focus) from here Lbus/Lbus to the cforce mini (Iris) and finally to the RIA-1with RF 2400 module. SX handset also with RF 2400 module. Hi5 with RF EMIP module connected to the RF motor and camera radio off. CineRT is connected to the lcube.


Apologies for my rusty english.. hope make myself clear.


Thanks to all!
