Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solutions |
| Nothing appears on the screen. | Confirm that the voltage is correct. Confirm that the power supply provides enough current to power the camera. |
| The picture is not clear. | Confirm that the glass in front of the lens is clean. To clean the glass, use a soft, dry, and non-abrasive cloth or a commercially available lens cleaning set. c. Correctly adjust the focus. |
| The picture has interference. | The camera may be close to a high voltage source, such as a power generator. |
| The picture is flickering continually. | Check the termination and set the impedance at 75 properly. Ensure that the camera is not pointing towards the Sun or any light source. Check if there is any intermediate device. Check if the distance of the video cable exceeds the maximum transferable limitation. |
| The camera is not synchronizing with the reference signal. | Locking takes up to 1 minute, depending on the signal strength. Check if the cable and connectors used in reference sync are in good condition. Make sure the cable length used in reference sync does not exceed 100 ft. Make sure OUTPUT EN is on when using the genlock output. |
