Problem

Remedy

 

 

 

Noise bars are "rolling" up

 

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

or down in the output

 

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

is compensated by passing that voltage difference through any available

or:

 

interconnection, including your video cables.

WARNING!

the audio output

 

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.

 

 

 

12.3 Audio Signal

Problem

Remedy

 

 

 

No audio at the output

1.

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

device, regardless of input

 

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

selected

 

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.

 

 

 

12.4 Control

Problem

Remedy

 

 

 

No control of Matrix

1.

Confirm the wiring of the connecting cable. This pin configuration may be found in

Switcher from PC

 

Figure 4. Cable length should not exceed 25 feet.

software

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.

 

 

Please refer to Section 9‎.3.2 "Setting the Configuration Switches" for proper

 

 

configuration for your Matrix Switcher.

 

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!
