The card no longer responds to Statesman/front panel control
Check that the card is seated correctly and that the Power OK LED is lit
Check that the card-edge Rx and Tx LEDS flash (Comms LED in an Indigo frame) when
Statesman communication control is attempted
Check any active control panel/Statesman cabling
Check if the control panel/Statesman can control another card in the same rack
If necessary re-set the card
The video output is not synchronous with other sources
Check that a valid synchronous reference is connected, that the Sync LED is lit and that the
correct video standard is selected
Check that output phasing is set correctly
The video output is disturbed when the horizontal delay is adjusted
If the chroma burst is absent for more than a second during adjustment, the input video
timing logic automatically may reset itself a number of times. Because of this there will be a
periodic disturbance of the output for several seconds, if the input timing is set so far out
that the burst is not detected.

Re-setting the card
If required, the card may be reset by simply removing the rack power and re-applying
power after a few seconds or by removing the card from the rack then re-inserting the card.
It is usually safe to reinsert the card whilst the rack is powered.
It is also possible to recall factory defaults by following the procedure at the end of the
Card-edge operation chapter.
