Troubleshooting

No video signal on any window

Verify that all SDI input cables are securely connected to both the source and the MultiView 16. Ensure the input sources are powered on and outputting a valid signal. Check the selected layout and source assignments on the front panel.

Flickering or unstable image on one or more windows

Check the SDI cable for damage and try a different cable. Ensure the video format of the source matches the supported modes and is correctly set. The re-synchronizers should correct most minor timing issues, but a faulty source signal can still cause instability.

Display shows 'No Signal' from the output

Confirm that the output cable (HDMI or SDI) is securely connected to your display. Check that the display is set to the correct input and resolution. Try a different output port if available and test with a different display if possible.

Front panel controls are unresponsive

Power cycle the MultiView 16 by unplugging the power cord, waiting 10 seconds, and plugging it back in. If the issue persists, contact support.
