Card Control and Status

Card Status

The card indicates the status of the input signal with the four blue LEDs labled with the different supported formats (625, 525). When the card has locked to a particular input format, that LED will be illuminated. When the card has not locked to a particular video format, the card will search all possible formats, and the lights will cycle rapidly.

Menu Navigation

The card can be configured from a menu system built in to the front card edge. This provides an intuitive and easy to use method for exploring and using the features of the card.

The menu is navigated by using the toggle switch and the two push buttons. The lower button is the “Enter” button to enter a submenu, and the upper button is the “Exit” button to exit a submenu. Moving the toggle switch up or down moves up or down in menu choices, and pressing the buttons moves in or out of sub menus.

The menu LEDs will illuminate from top to bottom to indicate increasing depth in the menu.
