Troubleshooting Problem Images appear on the screen but the floor indicator or up/down arrows do not appear a) For LiftMedia-P: The operating mode should be selected using the menu buttons (see chapter 4.2. Time, Date and Input Mode Settings for LiftMedia-P) Possible solution Also ensure that the connection is correct, terminals GCOM and ICOM should be connected to +24Vdc or 0V (see chapter Liftmedia-P Electrical Connections) b) For LiftMedia-S: These information is taken from CANbus serial interface. Check CANbus connection. Problem LiftMedia works but after a while backlight turns off and the screen gets black If you selected one of the options for turning off the backlight with car light in the Settings menu of LiftMedia Designer tool: Possible solution a) For LiftMedia-P: You must connect the car light output to input I1. b) For LiftMedia-S: The car light status information is taken from CANbus serial interface and the backlight is turned-off after car-light with the adjusted delay. If you do not want to use this feature, select never option in the Settings menu in your project and recompile the project. Please note that selecting this option will significantly reduce the lifetime of your screen. Problem LiftMedia works but there is no sound. Possible solution Check your loudspeaker connection. Also check the Music volume and Sound muted between hours settings in the Settings menu of LiftMedia Designer tool. Problem Some images assigned for a signal display do not appear Possible solution The full black color (RGB= 0, 0, 0) is accepted as transparent for signal display images. In this way, it is possible to use images in different shapes except from rectangular for signal displays. If there is some region in black color in your image which you don t want to appear as transparent, paint these black regions to a little more lighter. To do this, you may use any image processing software. Problem Some of video files cannot be compiled Possible solution Install the K-Lite Codec Pack on your computer which you can download from our website. Although the necessary codecs are installed, rarely, some media formats may not be recognized. If you encounter this type of media file, remove this file from your project or try to convert it to a recognizable format by using a video converter software and try again. Problem Some of video files do not appear Possible The current version of LiftMedia does not support videos without sound. Make sure that your solution video file has sound. 07/ LiftMedia
