9061 PRODUCT MANUAL
9061-OM (V4.9)
DashBoard™ shows 
Framesync Status error 
message in 9061 Framesync 
function submenu screen.
Specified Minimum Latency 
Frames setting exceeds 9061 
card buffer space for the 
selected output video format
Reduce the Minimum Latency Frames setting 
as specified in the error message to correct the 
error.
Note:
Due to card memory limits, the maximum
available Minimum Latency Frames is 
related to the output video format selected.
For example, with a 1080i 5994 output, the 
maximum setting is 5. For a 1080i film 
(2398) output, the maximum setting is 3 
(due to the increased buffer space needed 
for the slower frame rate). Conversely, 
greater maximum settings are allowed for 
SD formats such as 525i 5994, where the 
practical maximum limit is 13.
DashBoard™ shows Output 
Status error message in 9061 
Timecode function submenu 
screen.
Timecode not available due to 
lack of appropriate input 
timecode data
Timecode output requires that source and 
priority are appropriately selected. Also, video 
input must contain appropriate timecode data 
and framesync reference. 
Refer to Timecode function submenu tab on 
page 3-46 for more information.
Video/audio synchronization or 
delay noted.
Source synchronization 
condition
Use the Audio Offset from Video control to 
compensate for video/audio delay.
Refer to Framesync function submenu tab on 
page 3-27 for more information.
Unsmooth, “jerky” motion 
observed on video output with 
Framesync set to lock to input 
video.
Incompatible negative H/V 
delay value user setting of 
Vertical Delay or Hoeizontal 
Delay controls
Negative vertical or horizontal delay values 
(using the controls below) should not be used 
when using Input Video mode. To add an offset 
in this case, instead apply a positive value that 
results in the desired net offset.
Analog VITC waveform timecode 
not received and/or processed.
Card erroneously set for NTSC 
signal with 0 IRE of setup with 
input containing setup
If analog VITC timecode source contains
7.5 IRE of setup, make certain 
Video Signal Controls –> NTSC Contains is 
set to 7.5 IRE of Setup.
If this is not done, analog VITC waveform may 
not be received and processed by the card.
Ancillary data (closed captioning, 
timecode, Dolby
®
metadata,
AFD) not transferred through 
9061.
• Control(s) not enabled
• Make certain respective control is set to On or
Enabled (as appropriate).
• VANC line number conflict
between two or more 
ancillary data items
• Make certain each ancillary data item to be
passed is assigned a unique line number (see 
Ancillary Data Line Number Locations and 
Ranges on page 3-8).
• DashBoard™ shows red
Audio icon and Analog Input 
Clipping message in 9061 
Card Info pane.
• Card edge display shows code
E101
.
Analog peak audio input on 
selected input exceeds +24 
dBu level
Reduce analog audio level at the source.
Note:
9061 audio gain controls cannot be used to
correct analog input overload condition. The 
condition must be corrected at the source.
