Card Control and Status
Card Status
The card indicates the status of the input signal with the four blue LEDs labled with the different
supported formats (1080, 720, 625, 525). When the card has locked to a particular input format, that
LED will be illuminated. When the card has not locked to a particular video format, the card will
search all possible formats, and the lights will cycle rapidly.
Menu Navigation
The card can be configured from a menu system built in to the front card edge. This provides an
intuitive and easy to use method for exploring and using the features of the card.
The menu is navigated by using the toggle switch and the two push buttons. The lower button is the
“Enter” button to enter a submenu, and the upper button is the “Exit” button to exit a submenu. Moving
the toggle switch up or down moves up or down in menu choices, and pressing the buttons moves in or
out of sub menus.
The menu LEDs will illuminate from top to bottom to indicate increasing depth in the menu.
