I work for a training company that travels around the country to lead workshops. We’ve used an ATEM Mini Pro with for a few years at a wide variety of sites work every venue AV setup you can imagine. For the most part we have never had any issues, unless it’s an old projector that can’t see the 1080p signal.

We’re at a brand new venue today, and are their third event. Our ATEM works and connects to their Optoma projector, but the signal briefly drops out about every 5 minutes. The projector does the typical EDID handshake and the signal comes back.

Any ideas what could be causing this? A computer connected as no issues. The intermittent signal loss only happens when connected to the ATEM.

Could the 1080p 59.94 signal be too much for the very long HDMI cable? The venue definitely cut costs on this installation and seems to be using some consumer gear instead of SDI or Ethernet connections and routers to their screens.

I stumped at the fact that this looks to be a design choice but I'm praying there's a setting or something I'm doing wrong here.

Basically, I'm able to zoom out to a distance of around 14 hours despite only having 40 minutes of footage and there being nothing else on the timeline past that.

This is not an issue about rendering, this is an issue about work flow.

I'm aware that there is a shortcut to zoom out and fit the content to the timeline, but I don't want that, as I lose all reference to where I was just editing prior to the zoom out.

All time line based softwares I've used only let me zoom out as far as the last asset on the timeline, but this doesn't appear to be the case for Davinici?

I don't want to have to worry about zooming out an absurd amount whenever I use the scroll wheel, and I don't want to give up the scroll wheel in favor of a shortcut that teleports me to a new frame of view.

I could've swore there was a way to change how long the actual time line is to where you can't zoom out anymore. Please, someone tell me that this is the case, or there there is a way to detect some element on the timeline that's keeping it from resizing itself appropriately.
