(the XXX’s are the current sync source)Input sourcesDebug MenuI/O Status windowThis window shows useful information about the input and synchronization status of Pyramix.All the possible input sources are shown, each with an associated red and a green light. The green lights show thepresence of a valid digital signal (This does not necessarily mean, that the sampling rate of this input matches thecurrent clock source of Pyramix). When the red light is on and steady, Pyramix is using this input as it’s clock referenceand is successfully locked up.Default Clock SourceIf Pyramix is set up to lock to an external clock source but cannot get a valid signal from this source, it will switch toInternal clock. In this case the red light associated with Internal will be on, and the red light associated with theintended clock source will be blinking.Sampling Rate MismatchIf Pyramix is set up to lock to an external clock source and the sampling rate set in the Virtual StudioMixer does notmatch the sampling rate of the clock source, the green light associated with the clock source will be on, but thered light will be blinking showing the sampling rate mismatch.Right-clicking on the Sync: section of the Status bar opens a context menu with a choice of Debug and I/O Status(see below).Selecting Debug opens a further sub-menu with a number of tools primarily intended for Merging TechnologiesSupport use. One option, Profiling is worth examining in detail.Troubleshooting : The I/O Status window 28 - 554
