9922-FS Processing Error Troubleshooting

Table 3-4 provides 9922-FS processing troubleshooting information. If the 
9922-FS card exhibits any of the symptoms listed in Table 3-4, follow the 
troubleshooting instructions provided. In the majority of cases, most errors 
are caused by simple errors where the 9922-FS is not appropriately set for the 
type of signal being received by the card.

Note:

• The error indications shown below are typical for the corresponding error 

conditions listed. Other error indications not specified here may also be dis-
played on DashBoard™ and/or the 9922-FS card edge status indicators.

• Where errors are displayed on both the 9922-FS card and network remote 

controls, the respective indicators and displays are individually described in 
this section.

Troubleshooting Processing Errors by Symptom

Symptom

Error/Condition

Corrective Action

• DashBoard™ shows 

Unlocked message in 
9922-FS Card Info pane

• Card edge Input LED 

corresponding to input is not 
illuminated

No video input present

Make certain intended video source is 
connected to appropriate 9922-FS card video 
input. Make certain BNC cable connections 
between frame Rear I/O Module for the card and 
signal source are OK.

Ancillary data (closed captioning, 
timecode) not transferred 
through 9922-FS

• Control(s) not enabled

• Make certain respective control is set to On or 

Enabled (as appropriate).

• VANC line number conflict 

between two or more 
ancillary data items

• Make certain each ancillary data item to be 

passed is assigned a unique line number (see 
Ancillary Data Line Number Locations and 
Ranges (p. 3-9).

Audio not processed or passed 
through card

Enable control not turned on

On Output Audio Routing/Controls tab, Audio 
Group Enable control for group 1 thru 4 must be 
turned on for sources to be embedded into 
respective embedded channel groups.

(QC only) Audio silence 
event not detected or triggered 
on

Holdoff set too long to detect 
condition

The Trigger Holdoff controls on the Audio 
Detect Events tab allow ignoring silence events 
unless the event duration exceeds the holdoff 
setting. Make certain holdoff is set sufficiently 
low to detect events as desired.

Selected upgrade firmware will 
not upload

Automatic reboot after upgrade 
turned off

Card Presets > Automatically Reboot After 
Upgrade box unchecked. Either reboot the card 
manually, or leave this box checked to allow 
automatic reboot to engage an upgrade upon 
selecting the upgrade.
