Multi-Function Lcd Display - MOTU V4HD User Manual

RATE
The LEDs in the RATE bank (Figure 12-2) indicate
the frame rate for the currently selected signal in
the SIGNAL bank.
GENLOCK
The LEDs in the Genlock bank (Figure 12-2)
indicate the input format to which the V4HD has
successfully achieved genlock. It also indicates the
format for the currently selected output in the
SIGNAL bank. If you are viewing all formats in the
SIGNAL bank (Figure 12-3), the Genlock bank
will display the SD and HD formats that the V4HD
is genlocking to and generating.
Flashing LEDs
When LEDs flash in the VIDEO STATUS section, it
means that the V4HD has not yet successfully
established genlock. Once genlock is achieved, the
LEDs stop flashing.
Blinking LEDs
The Auto Detect Input Format menu in the MOTU
Video Setup software Setup tab (Figure 6-19 on
page 48) lets you choose the degree to which the
V4HD will automatically detect the video format
for the currently chosen video source (Figure 6-3).
If you choose the Manual option from this menu,
you specify the format using the menus in the
signal path, as explained in "Manual" on page 48.
In this situation, the Genlock LEDs will blink every
second or so to indicate that no auto-detection is
occurring and than the setting has been specified
manually.

MULTI-FUNCTION LCD DISPLAY

The V4HD's multi-function LCD display
(Figure 12-1) gives you access to the V4HD's many
powerful features. You can use the display when the
V4HD is connected to the computer and operating
as a video (or audio) interface, and you can also use
it when the V4HD is not connected to the
computer and is instead operating as a stand-alone
converter (or audio mixer).
Making settings from the LCD versus the
software console
If the V4HD is currently connected to a computer,
some settings must be made from the V4HD's
console software applications on the computer. In
this case, when you try to make a setting in the
LCD, you'll see a message that says Please use
computer.
