No Input/Blank Screen

If the live monitor displays no input or a blank screen, try troubleshooting the issue with the following steps:

  1. Check if the recording device is turned on. If not, turn the device on (this could take up to 10 minutes). The photos below display two different models of the recording device, for reference:

2. If the recording device is on but the live monitor is still not working, ensure the cables are connected correctly; you should have an HDMI cable connected to HDMI port 1 or port 2. Additionally, follow the cord and ensure that it is securely plugged in to your monitor as well.

3. Reboot the HDMI/VGA adapter (the device shown in the following image). To reboot this device:

  • Locate the VGA/HDMI adapter on the cord between the recording device and the monitor.

  • Unplug both sides of the cord and wait 20-30 seconds.
