Stand Alone Tests
The stand alone tests can be performed without a computer, using the FS1-X front panel
controls and rear connections.
The following procedures assume the FS1-X is at factory defaults (taken from a newly
opened box). If not set to defaults, the FS1-X may behave differently.
First Power Up
The following workflow powers up the FS1-X and demonstrates some example alarms.
Setup • Ensure the FS1-X is completely disconnected (all video, audio, network, and power
connector ports are empty).
Procedure 1. Connect both FS1-X power cords to mains AC and allow time for the unit to boot up.
Observe the front panel LEDs.
• If the FRC PRES LED lights blue, your FS1-X is equipped with the FRC option and is
able to operate in either 1 Channel or 2 Channel Mode. If this LED is off, your unit
can only operate in 2 Channel mode.
• The ALARM LED will light red, indicating an alarm condition, and the REF LED will
be off. By default the F1-X is configured to operate genlocked to an external
reference signal.
2. Press the front panel STATUS button, then turn the SELECT knob to view various
Status menus.
• The Status menus will report No Input for the Video Processor video inputs (the
ports are disconnected), and the GEN (Genlock) parameter will report Ref
(configured for external reference) but will also report No Input or No Ref.
3. Connect a 525i color black reference signal to one of the FS1-X Ref Loop BNCs.
