signal is unstable or interrupted.

Picture break-up.

The input signal is unstable.

Supply a correct input signal.

The monitor does not support the
format.

Some older monitors support only the 59.94/
60 frequencies. Use a monitor with
specifications supporting the format.

The input signal is not matched to
the system frequency.

Input a signal with 1.000/1.000 and 1.000/
1.001 that match the system.

The frequency exceeds the monitor
scanning frequency.

If the monitor is a BVM-F24, 25PsF and
29.97PsF cannot be displayed with ×3
scanning, resulting in picture breakup. Use ×2
or ×1 scanning. For 59.94i and 50i, use ASD
scanning.

jerky.

Monitor is not operating properly.

Check the monitor settings. Try turning it off
