TROUBLESHOOTING
Having an issue?
VIDEO NOT WORKING?
NOT SEEING ANY VIDEO OUTPUT, IT’S ALL BLACK?
By default, MACRO 1 is assigned to Video Output Brightness. When set all the way dark (CCW), the word **BLACKOUT** will appear on the preview screen. If you’re not seeing any video out and you’ve verified your video out cable and destination are working correctly, make sure your MACRO 1 knob (top right corner of STRUCTURE SD) is all the way CW (~2 o’clock position)
ADDITIONAL CONTENT
Once you create your own CLIPS or IMAGES on the front SD card, you won’t e able to see the default files that are built in. If you’d like to still use those files, you can download them from here.
