I'm looking for some advice on an issue I'm having setting up P5 panels. I have a decent amount of experience using RGB WS2811/WS2812 etc lights. Currently at more than 25,000 LEDs in my show. I've started working with P5 panels to replace some of my props. I recently built a test setup of 2 x 2 P5 panels 128x64 pixels total. I went through the setup with LEDVision v8.8 and I can see the image correctly. If I move my mouse around, I see it correctly move through the panels. I did use the vendor provided rcvbp file. I think it's configured correctly.
The problem is, the panels are constantly flickering. I've attached a video (YouTube) for reference and a photo of the wiring. Below is a list of things I've tried for troubleshooting.
The Colorlight card is a 5A-75E (vendor). The panels are, for all intents and purposes, generic P5 panels (vendor).

- Verified wiring is correct. Tried different grounds, different ports on the Colorlight card, different ways to wire power to the panels and the Colorlight card.
- Tried the configuration and setup from two different PCs. Different ethernet cables, different network configuration.
- Tried different ports on the Colorlight card. Ports 1 & 2. Ports 3 & 4.
- Tried wiring a single panel to one port on the Colorlight card.
