mode (e.g. DVI and DVI, etc.).

change  displays,  change  displays'  cables  or  call  technical 
support.

video cable and reboot the computer.

product is properly secured at both sides.

video connector (if computer supports multiple displays). 

 

Check that computer resolution matches connected display 
capabilities. 

 

Connect  the  display/s  directly  to  the  computer  to  confirm 
that  video  output  is  available  and  that  a  good  image  is 
shown.

With  everything  connected,  power-cycle  the  product  to 
reset the video. Make sure the Video Diagnostic LED is solid 
green. 

 

Check  that  the  displays  that  you  are  using  support  the 
resolution and refresh-rate setting on computer. 

 

Lower the video resolution of your computer. 

 

Connect  displays  directly  to  computer  showing  bad  video 
image to see if problem persists.
