• The REF LED will light red, indicating an alarm condition. By default the FS4 is
configured to operate genlocked to an external reference signal.

STATUS
button, then turn the
SELECT
knob to view various
Status menus.
• The Status menu for Video Processor 1 will report
No Input
for IN1, the port is
disconnected), and the
GEN
(Genlock) parameter will report
Ref
(configured for
external reference) but will also report
No Input
.
3. Connect a 1080i59.94 HD tri-level sync reference signal to one of the FS4 Ref Loop
BNCs, a
nd connect a 75 ohm terminator to the other Ref BNC.
• The REF LED will light blue, indicating the FS4 is genlocked to reference.
• The Status menu
GEN
parameters will report
Ref
and indicate the format of the
incoming reference signal or
OK
.
• However, because the FS4 is still not receiving a compatible video input,
No Inpu
t,
will be reported for IN1.
4. Connect a 1080i59.94 SDI video source to the SDI 1 input BNC.
• The front panel will report 1080i59 and an OK status for SDI 1.
This indicates no alarm condition exists.
5. Disconnect one of the power cords, leaving the other attached.
• The front panel PWR LED will light red for the power supply with the removed
cord.
• The PS status will report PS1 (or 2) OFF
6. Reconnect the power cable. The PWR LED for that power supply will light blue and
the power supply status will report OK.
This workflow confirms the FS4 powers up successfully and reports reference and power
supply alarms.
NOTE:
FS4 Reference, Power Supply, and Video Format alarms can be disabled, if desired. This will
prevent the LEDs from going red, but will not affect SNMP or front panel status displays.
