Diagnostic Window Explained
The diagnostic window is divided into four sections:
• The Information section displays revision and identification information about the Avid 
hardware, including Base Board Information, and VIO Board information.
• The Hardware Test allows you to select the loopback cables that are connected to your 
system. When one of these cables is selected for testing, the required connection information 
is displayed in the Required Connections area. If the test fails, the log information and error 
reporting displays in a separate Information Window. Red text indicates a failed component, 
green text indicates a passed component.
• The Video section allows you to choose your video format, Play Frame, and Capture source 
to test the video output or input for Play and Capture.
• The Audio section allows you to select the Audio and Frequency to test the audio outputs.
• The Disk Performance section allows you to perform additional disk performance tests as 
instructed by Avid Customer Support Representatives.
