Re: [Avid-L2] Sony HDC-4300 4K live camera to switcher to KiPro recording Quadrant issue?

I'm thinking they used the

Ki Pro Ultra 12G

12G-SDI 4K/UHD/HD Recorder and Player
Multi-Channel HD Recorder

It would seem this unit can input single link 1x12G or 3x 3G SDI.  It can record 4 HD channels or a 4K signal in single channel mode.  Given it is recording in essence 4 HD signals as one in single channel mode that might mean it works in a Quad Link manner under the hood.  That would explain why only one quadrant is whacky, possibly?  Just trying to take a stab.  I have heard of single link (one cable), dual link (2 cables) and quad link (4 cables) but according to the spec sheet it has:
 

Video Input Digital

  • 1x 12G-SDI, SMPTE-292/372/424/2081/2082
  • 3x 3G-SDI, SMPTE-292/372/424
  • 1x Fiber or HD-BNC 12G-SDI, SMPTE-297 (optional SFP modules)
  • 3x Fiber or HD-BNC, 3G-SDI, SMPTE-297 (optional SFP modules)
  • 4K/UltraHD 4:2:2 10bit & 4:4:4 10/12bit (BNC or Fiber)
  • Dual Link 4:2:2 10bit & 4:4:4 10/12bit (BNC or Fiber)
  • Single Link 4:2:2 10bit & 4:4:4 10/12bit (BNC or Fiber)
  • 1x HDMI standard type A connector
  • HDMI v2.0 
    • 4:4:4 RGB 8/10/12-bit (deep color) 
    • 4:2:2 YCbCr 8/10/12-bit 
    • 4:2:0 YCbCr 8-bit
I'm not familiar with 3x 3G-SDI, SMPTE-292/372/424.  I would find out how the KiPros were feed a signal.  Given the recorder has 4 HD channels under the hood that might be where things got off on one quadrant.  Just guessing.  I'm very interested in what the truck folks think might have happened.
 
Here's the link for what I think they used and part of the overview section that might apply to the issue:
