    Error and Failure Indicator Overview The 9082 card itself and its remote control systems all (to varying degrees) provide error and failure indications. Depending on how the 9082 card is being used (i.e, standalone or network controlled through DashBoard™ or a Remote Control Panel), check all available indications in the event of an error or failure condition.
  • Page 49 Four blue LEDs indicate the input signal raster format being received and locked onto by the 9082 (1080, LEDs 720, 625, 525). Continuous cycling of the LEDs indicates the 9082 has not locked onto a particular format (as in the case of no signal input).
  • Page 50 Specific errors are displayed in the Card Info pane (in this example “No connection to device” indicating 9082 card is not connecting to frame/LAN). If the 9082 card is not connecting to the frame or LAN, all controls are grayed-out (as shown in the example here).
