5.2 FAQ
1. Fail to power on mini-edge SDI? A: The power adapter included in mini-edge SDI is the recommended power supply to use. If you use other power supply, make sure the power supply supports 12V 3.3A. Then check whether the power supply is connected, and use it correctly according to the power supply standard of your country/region. If the device still fails to power on, please check whether the power cord is damaged. Please contact us if the device is damaged during transportation. 2. If there is a power supply problem with the mini-edge SDI:
APlease try to change the power adapter (support 40W).
3. mini-edge SDI upgrade notes:
A Please connect a U disk with standard OTG cable for upgrade. If the upgrade file cannot be
recognized, please check whether it is in .img format; If the file still cannot be recognized, please replace the OTG cable or contact us. 4. mini-edge SDI cannot control PTZ:
APlease make sure that the IP address of mini-edge SDI and PTZ are in the same network segment. For
example, the IP address of PTZ is 192.168.5.163. Please also set the IP address of mini-edge SDI to 192.168.5.X (X should be a number within the range of 2 to 254, excluding 163).

PAL: Phase Alternate Line. A television standard in which the phase of the colour carrier is alternated from line to line. It takes four full images (8 fields) for the colour-to-horizontalimages (8 fields) for the colour-to-horizontal phase relationship to return to the reference point. This alternation helps cancel out phase errors. For this reason, the hue control is not needed on a PAL TV set. PAL, is widely used in needed on a PAL TV set. PAL, is widely used in Western Europe, Australia, Africa, the Middle East, and Micronesia. PAL uses 625-line, 50-field (25 fps) composite colour transmission system.
