My reference monitor(s) connected to the V4HD
does not output any video.
Make sure the Final Cut Pro MOTU RT Enabler is
properly installed in Library\Application
Support\Final Cut Pro System Support\Plugins.
I'm not seeing any SD output. Why?
SD output is disabled when the HD frame rate is set
to 24, 30, or 60 (as opposed to 23.976, 29.97, or
59.94). Check the HD frame rate.
I can't get any video input or output at all. Why?
The V4HD's video features can be temporarily
disabled. Perhaps they are currently turned off. See
"Enable Video" on page 50.
My HDMI output looks unusually blurry and
distorted.
When outputting HD content, go to the Output tab
in MOTU Video Setup and click the HD button for
the HDMI Output Source option.
My HDMI output does not output any video.
Make sure the HDMI/DVI menu in the signal path
diagram is set to HDMI, not DVI.
How can I enable time code when the V4HD is in
Audio & Video mode?
Time code becomes active when the Timecode
Destination option (page 50) gets set to anything
other than None. Choose HD-SDI or SD-SDI to
output the desired time code format from LTC out
of the V4HD.
I hear clicks and pops on audio from an external
SDI device.
Make sure your Video Source is set to SD- or
HD-SDI for V4HD to establish sync.
