LifeSize SDI Adapter Installation Guide

Troubleshooting
Improperly connected or loose cables are common causes of problems with hardware units.
When investigating a problem, first check all the external controls and cable connections.
Check that connections are correct and secure, and that nothing is obstructing the cables. If
the SDI coax cable becomes unplugged, color bars appear in the display and the blue LED
on the LifeSize SDI Adapter blinks.
When you use the LifeSize remote control to control the Sony EVI-HD1 camera, a blue LED
flashes on the front of the LifeSize SDI Adapter to indicate that the remote control is
functioning properly. If the VISCA cable is properly connected, but the camera is not
responding to commands from the LifeSize remote control, check the following:
•
Ensure that the LifeSize remote control contains three AAA batteries that are in good
working condition.
•
Ensure that switch 2 (communication baud rate selector) on the BOTTOM switches on
the Sony EVI-HD1 camera is set to OFF. Refer to the product documentation that
accompanies the camera for more information about setting this switch.
