Troubleshooting

When the screen is cracked or HDMI input noise is generated.

► A low-priced (or uncertified) HDMI cable may cause a data loss at more than 1080i resolution.

The verification method is to check the video quality of more than 1080i resolution on the monitor in direct

connection between a problematic HDMI cable and video display unit NOT as via X_MC.

If the HDMI cable is the cause, the display keeps showing the same symptom.

Therefore, Genuine HDMI cable is recommended.

When Analog audio is off.

► Please check the condition of Audio at Video Output of the SDI or HDMI which contains Audio

data. If the checked Audio is normal, it may be a temporary symptom by ESD(Electrostatic

Discharge)

In this case, please reboot the product as turning OFF and ON the product : forced RESET
