Heh. One time in the long past we put a 1.5 million dollar video system in the auditorium. Prizm system with a spider back end, does HD video and things that would make any TF person puke with joy.
One of the six video planes in the mixer was flipping to pink every once in awhile. Techs had no clue, I told them to check the crimps. Major presentation, and during so the screen went pink. Techs said it was programming: "If it was a crimp the video would drop if I did this" as he wiggled a cable.
We screamed NO! Video went away. Tech 2 tried to rertoute to plane 4, however he had a football game going on plane 4's monitor. So our audience was treated to the power point going out, then a football game for 5 seconds, then the presentation.

Needless to say they fixed the crimp.
