I/O board unit problems

I/O board unit problems

To test the I/O board unit, do the following:

1. Configure an output (P1/P2 channel) and input (R1 channel) to the same video and

audio type.

2. Load a correct clip to P1 or P2 channel.

3. Start the loop play of this clip.

4. Connect (loop) the configured output channel of the loop play directly to the

configured input.

• So this for both video and audio. This provides a verified good signal to the

inputs.

5. Record a short clip.

6. Verify the I/O board unit’s recording functionality as follows:

(1) Check the thumbnail of the recording clip.
(2) Listen to the clip’s audio with headphones from the front panel headphone output.

7. Using the other play channel, play back the clip.

8. Verify the I/O board unit’s play out functionality as follows:

(1) Check the video on a verified good output device.
(2) Listen to the audio output.

9. Repeat this procedure for each video and audio type.

If you get the expected results, the I/O board unit is good and any problems you are

experiencing are due to some other cause.

If you get faulty results it indicates a problem with the I/O board unit. Investigate the

problem further as described in the following table. If the problem persists, contact

Grass Valley Support.
