Hello,

 I have a question concerning our house Wohler audio monitor (Model # Amp2-VSA).  It is rack mounted and hooked up through an Ocelot Routing System.  Whenever previewing audio from one of our DVCPro decks or BETA decks, the audio will consistently drop out for about 2 seconds.  The frequency of this drop out is seemingly consistent, but sometimes it is not.  We do have the Wohler monitoring via 1 BNC cable that is an SDI signal.  That SDI signal is being converted multiple times through AJA boxes.  I'm not a full blown broadcast engineer yet, but I'm going to school to be one.  I can't figure out this problem, and the way it everything is hooked up in the racks is quite confusing.  None of the patch fields are labeled, and there are multiple conversions from digital to analog and back to digital along the pipeline.  I'm not sure if this has something to do with the problem or not.  Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks,
