Problem 

Remedy  

Noise bars are "rolling" up 

or down in the output 

image  
or:  
Low Frequency Hum in 

the audio output 

Hum bars (ground loop) are caused by a difference in the ground potential 

of any two or more devices connected to your signal path. This difference  

is compensated by passing that voltage difference through any available 

interconnection, including your video cables.  

WARNING

Do not disconnect the ground from any piece of 

video equipment in your signal path!  

Check the following to remove hum bars: 

1. 

Confirm that all interconnected equipment is connected to the same phase of 

power, if possible. 

2. 

Remove equipment connected to that phase that may introduce noise, such as 

motors, generators, etc. 

3. 

Disconnect all interconnect cables and reconnect them one at a time until the 

ground loop reappears. Disconnect the affected cable and replace, or insert an 

isolation transformer in the signal path. 

 

Audio Signal   

Problem 

Remedy  

No audio at the output 

device, regardless of input 

selected 

1. 

Confirm that your sources and output device are powered on and connected 

properly. Audio signals connected to the input of your machine should be 

properly wired to the output of your source. Audio signals connected to the 

output of your machine should be properly wired to the input of your machine 

or recorder. 

2. 

Confirm that any other amplifiers in the signal path have the proper input 

and/or output selected. Pay special attention to input amplifiers that may be 

built into your acceptor. 

Audio level is too low 

1. 

Confirm that the connecting cables are of high quality and properly built. Take 

special care in noting the wiring configuration of balanced to unbalanced 

cables.  

2. 

Check level controls located on your source input device or output display or 

recorder. 

 

Control 

Problem 

Remedy  

No control of Matrix 

Switcher from PC 

software 

1. 

Confirm the wiring of the connecting cable. Cable length should not exceed 25 feet. 

2. 

Confirm that all DIP switches on the Matrix Switcher have been set properly. Keep 

in mind that if you are only controlling one Matrix Switcher on a specific port, that 

Matrix Switcher must be assigned the ID of  “1”. 

3. 

Confirm that the baud rate of your computer COM port is set to the same as that of 

your Matrix Switcher (9600-Baud). Confirm that the proper COM port is selected in 

the control software. 

4. 

Confirm that bi-directional communication is enabled on all Matrix Switchers.  

5. 

With custom software, do not send multiple commands at the same time. The Matrix 

Switcher must complete one command and send the reply, before receiving another. 

6. 

Confirm that the computer you are using supports true RS-232C protocol. 

Computers such as the Apple Macintosh do not!
