Connecting single and dual link inputs incorrectly can cause odd looking signals. Here are each of the incorrect paths shown as they would be with a standard SMPTE bars input.
For all the images below, the setup is [test generator] -> [drastic ddr]
Generator is Single Link 4:2:2 YCbCr
This is a correct single link (4:2:2 YCbCr) to single link (4:2:2 YCbCr) capture
This is a single link (4:2:2 YCbCr) output into the A side of a dual link (4:4:4 RGB) input
This is a single link (4:2:2 YCbCr) output into the A and B sides of a dual link (4:4:4 RGB) input
Generator is Dual Link 4:4:4 RGB
This is a dual link (4:4:4 RGB) to dual link with only the A cable connected
This is a dual link (4:4:4 RGB) to dual link with the A and B links inverted
This is the B side of a dual link (4:2:2 RGB) connected to the single link (4:2:2 YCbCr) input configured as single link
This is the A side of a dual link (4:2:2 RGB) connected to the single link (4:2:2 YCbCr) input configured as single link
