Status Screens
Home Screen
The Home status screen shows the most commonly needed system status information.
Fiber Link Status: Fiber Link status is shown both graphically as a series of bars and as an absolute signal
strength reading. Fiber Link status is also color-coded green/yellow/red for easy assessment of the fiber
signal strength.
System Voltage and Source Status: System output voltage to the camera is displayed, as well as whether
the camera unit is operating on hybrid fiber power (lightning bolt) or from an external battery (battery
symbol). Voltage and Source status are color-coded green/yellow/red for easy assessment of battery
and camera voltage.
Camera Video Status: The video format being generated by the camera is shown on the line labeled
CAM. For systems with an included 4K gearbox, the video resolution and frame rate will be displayed.
Secondary SDI Video Status: The video rate of the secondary SDI paths is shown here. Some systems
may have more than one status line, depending on the number of included secondary SDI paths. Video
sends from the camera unit (inputs) are shown with an “S” prefix. Video returns to the camera unit
(outputs) are shown with an “R” prefix.
Reference Status: Reference Status (REF) will turn red when there is no reference sync signal connected
at the base unit. REF will turn green when it has locked to the reference signal connected at the base
unit. While the camera unit is locking to a reference signal, REF will turn yellow and display a countdown
timer.
Timecode Status: Timecode status (LTC) will turn red when there is no timecode signal connected at the
base unit. LTC will turn green when it has detected a timecode signal connected at the base unit.
