TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:
There is no image on the output of the IN3212 / IN3214 / IN3218.
Suggestions:
q
Make sure the power supply is plugged in and that the input and output cables are
connected properly.
q
Bypass the IN3212 / IN3214 / IN3218 by connecting the input and output cables
with a BNC barrel connector to ensure there is a video signal present.
Problem:
The output image is too dark.
Suggestion:
q
First make sure the display device contrast and brightness controls are set properly.
Then increase the appropriate IN3212 / IN3214 / IN3218 gain control until the
desired image is achieved.
Problem:
The output image is too bright or the picture blooms.
Suggestions:
q
First make sure the display device contrast and brightness controls are set properly.
Then decrease the appropriate IN3212 / IN3214 / IN3218 output gain control until
the desired image is achieved.
q
The input termination may be set to High Z. Check the termination jumper settings
(see pages 4-6.)
Problem:
The output image is not sharp enough. Vertical lines are very thin.
Suggestions:
q
Make sure you are using the appropriate video cable for your signal type. When
dealing with high resolution video signals, a high quality coaxial cable must be used
for long distance cable runs (50 ft. or more). IN7100 or IN7200 series cables are
recommended for very long cable runs.
q
Increase the peaking control of the IN3212 / IN3214 / IN3218 to compensate for
high frequency losses.
Problem:
The loop output is not working.
Suggestion:
q
The input termination for input 1 must be set to High Z. Set the internal jumpers as
shown on pages 4-6.
