Andreas Krieger commented on MH-8655:
-------------------------------------

Actual Results: corrupted recording as described above and by attached 
screenshot

Expected Results: the recording to follow the resolution changes by rescaling 
the resolutions correctly and thus provide consistent quality
  
Workaround (if any): 
+ use a scaler (which has it's own limitation, like not delivering an output 
signal if the input is running on 100Hz)
+ disconnect the source and reconnect it (but this would mean to know that this 
is necessary, which is only possible via confence monitoring)
+ every workaround has it's own traps and requires additional instruction and 
setup of the lectures and thus more fail-prone than an internal solution
 
We currently have quite a lot of recordings failing due to this reason, so a 
solution to this would be highly welcome.

I have little to no idea of the internals, but what about identifying the 
"offending" resolution changes, and then checking like every 5 seconds whether 
such a resolution change (from which to what) happened, and then adapting the 
scaling function accordingly during the recording?. Easy said, I know. Or what 
about causing a software interrupt to the epiphan device every time a 
resolution changes, thus causing a short signal loss, thus mitigating the 
effect?
