Troubleshooting Guide 

Situation

Solution

Unicasting an edje4000 to a
signEdje, encoding starts and then
stops itself.

1. video rate set to low; maximum TMR is twice the video rate. 
2. video not mapped to output program- check with MP1.

sending of IP vs ASI data 

Multicast Mode (MMO)  must  always be set to "SEND" - no egress of any form will
take place unless it is.
If Mux Destination (MDE) is set to "IP", then egress occurs on the IP port and the ASI
port simultaneously.
If "MDE" is set to "ASI", then egress occurs only on the ASI port- the IP port remains
inactive.

white pulses are visible in the video
at the topof the screen

the white pulses are Wide Screen Signalling (WSS) signals carried on line 23 in PAL
video. The edje4000 firmware does not permit the shifting of the video signal to
beginning the encode on line 24.
