Unable to 

Connect  

to Maestro

If unable to connect, try one of the following: 

 

If you are getting a page not found error when directly connected to a PC,

 try disabling WIFI. If that 

does not correct it, make sure your PC is not using a static IP address. The PC and the HDbridge2000 unit must be on the 

same IP subnet for them to communicate. For details on how to check for a static IP address, please see the FAQ section of 

our website.

 

If the page loads, but all you see is a purple background and the ZeeVee logo (and are not 

prompted to log in)

 please try a different web browser.  We have found some older versions of Internet Explorer are not 

compatible with the Maestro tool.  Updating IE or using Firefox or Chrome should correct the issue.

No picture 

or channel 

found at TV 

Verify the HDTV has a QAM (digital cable) tuner. Verify that you have performed a full channel scan on the HDTV with “cable 

mode” selected. Lower the power on the unit, then verify that the modulator is not conflicting with any other channel by 

connecting the unit directly to the HDTV.

Idle Screen 

(bouncing 

logo)

One reason this may happen is when the unit does not detect video input. Verify the source is on and producing a video 

signal, then verify the source is outputting a supported resolution. If the Video Source (Channel Plan tab in Maestro) is set to 

Auto, change it to the specific video type being used (Component or VGA).

Breakup

Image or video break up is often caused by an issue in the RF/coax network. You may have chosen a channel number that is 

not completely vacant. 
If you are combining with other modulators, be sure the RF# selected on the unit does not conflict with any other channels, 

keep in mind that some analog modulators may spill over to adjacent channels and cause unexpected interference. 
If you are combining with a cable service, keep in mind that they sometimes have extra signals that a TV will not display and 

can cause interference. 
There may also be an RF power balance issue. Verify that the RF power of the unit is balanced with signals from other 

modulators and from the cable company. As a test, try removing all other signals (cable, other modulators, etc) and see if you 

still see similar issues.
Some TVs will also show video issues if the signal strength is too high. Try lowering the RF power on the unit to ensure you 

are not overdriving the HDTV tuner. 

VGA or 

HDMI video 

does not fill 

HDTV screen

The unit is broadcasting in “compatibility mode.” This means it’s receiving a resolution from your VGA/HDMI source that 

doesn’t match standard 1280x720 or 1920x1080 HDTV picture resolutions. When that happens, the unit fits the incoming 

picture inside either a 720 or 1080 window and pads the outside area with black. To resolve the issue, set your VGA source to 

output 1280x720 or 1920x1080 resolution. For more detailed information about setting up VGA and HDMI resolutions, see the 

FAQ section of our website.

Audio and 

video are not 

synchronized 

If both the audio and video are being sent through the unit to the TV, be sure your firmware is fully updated, later versions of 

firmware may have lip sync corrections. 
If you are feeding the audio directly from the source into a distributed (whole house) audio system and not through the 

ZeeVee unit, it will arrive to the speakers before the video arrives to the HDTV. This happens because the video is being 

encoded into a digital signal, modulated by the unit and then demodulated at the HDTV. Each of these steps adds latency that 

will not be reflected in the audio because it is traveling a shorter path. 
To work around the issue, you can try one of the following:

 

Use an audio delay device that allows you to add a delay to the audio stream before it reaches the sound system. 

 

Feed the audio to the ZeeVee unit and send it to the HDTV with the video. Then take the audio out from an HDTV or external 

QAM tuner (such as the ZvSync) and connect it to your audio system. The audio should have a similar amount of delay since it 

has gone through the encoding and decoding process just as the video did.
