Schematic (a pdf version is preferred, but a hand drawing is sufficient).
Serial number(s) of the device(s) (it is either printed somewhere on the box or you can query it in the
Device Controller software or on the built-in website).
Firmware versions of the devices (please note that there may be multiple CPUs or controllers in the
device and we need to know all of their firmware versions, a screenshot is the best option).
Cable lengths and types (in our experience, it's usually the cable).
Patch panels, gender changers or anything else in the signal path that can affect the transmission.
Signal type (resolution, refresh rate, color space, deep color).
Emulated EDID(s) (please save them as file and send them to us).
Actions to take in order to re-create the problem (if we cannot reproduce the problem, it is hard for us
to find the cause).
Photo or video about the problem ('image noise' can mean many different things, it's better if we see
it too).
Error logs from the Device Controller software.
In the case of Event Manager issue the event file and/or backup file from the Device Controller
software.
