Problem

Possible Solutions

“Local Play” graphic is displayed.

• Verify Decoder is assigned to view a valid stream 

in the N-Able matrix.

• Verify Decoder is currently in “live play” mode 

(black text on matrix view).

• Verify network is properly configured and set up. If 

needed, connect Encoder directly to Decoder to 
verify network issues.

“Host Play” graphic is displayed.

• Verify Encoder is in live play mode (black text in 

matrix).

• Verify source is attached and is outputting a valid 

signal (DVI light on Encoder is lit).

“Unsupported Resolution” graphic 
is displayed.

• Change source resolution to a valid resolution (try 

720p60).

• Verify cabling is correct.

“Copy Protected Content” screen is 
displayed.

• Contact SVSi technical support.

Black screen/no graphic is 
displayed.

• Set Decoder to local play. If the local play graphic 

does not appear, check the display input settings 
and cabling.

• If local play appears, set Decoder to live play and 

verify network is configured properly.

No audio is detected.

• If there is no audio on all

 

Decoders, verify audio 

settings are correct on Encoder.

• If there is no audio on a single Decoder, verify 

audio settings are correct on Decoder.
