Power on your display and control system

Often, the startup and shutdown procedures are documented in your service agreement or provided by a trainer. If you do not have that document handy, sample guides and video of the procedures can be found in this article: What is the proper rack start up procedure?

Play test content

After your control system is running, play test patterns or other test content on your displays. The process of playing out test patterns can vary depending on your equipment.

Inspect your video display(s)

  • While test patterns are playing, examine your display(s) and document any pixels, modules or sections that are stuck on/off.
  • Take note of any visual issues flickering, discoloration, etc.
  • Visually inspect the display(s) and cabinet(s) for any signs of damage or corrosion that may have occurred during the winter.
  • Listen for any damaged or non-working cooling fans.

 

Check your fixed digit display(s)

  • We also advise you to visually inspect the display cabinets for any scratch’s, dents or abnormalities.
