What techs run into most, and what's usually behind it. The step-by-step fix for your exact unit is in Ask Roadie.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
12G/6G-SDI source not acquiring on the Tri-Combo input (e.g. Atomos Shogun)
Likely cause: The Tri-Combo input validates SDI CRC per SMPTE standard; a non-compliant CRC stream fails signal acquisition even though cabling is fine.

Genlock/reference lost — output behavior when lock source drops
Likely cause: The internal sync generator lets the unit free-run cleanly during a brief reference dropout; checking BNC ref type/level confirms the genlock chain, and the log pinpoints when/why lock was lost.

How to factory reset the ImagePRO-4K
