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 →
Cube freezes or stops encoding on PowerPoint slides / full-screen still graphic
Likely cause: A perfectly static digital image lets the hardware codec chase too-high quality and lock up; a QP floor stops it.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Cube randomly disconnecting from Core / won't reconnect to Hyperion after server update
Likely cause: A buggy Hyperion client build broke encoder stream sessions; redeploying installs the fixed build.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Cube stuck on "Initializing Encoder" / no video input recognized / not streaming (600 series)
Likely cause: Force-reloads firmware onto the encode processor, clearing a corrupted codec image.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Cube won't connect to Core / stream server on venue network
Likely cause: Encoders initiate every session outbound; filtered outbound ports block control or video.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
old 1st/2nd gen Cube slow to show up in Core / "Waiting for Control"
Likely cause: Legacy firmware registers slowly; restarting the server session then the encode pipeline clears the handshake.
