back of edgertronic high speed camera with LEDs labeled

Overview

There are four LEDs on the edgertronic high speed camera.

Location	LED	Meaning
Top LED on Ethernet connector near USB connector Green LED	Cable speed	Off - 10 Mbps On - 100 Mbps
Bottom LED on Ethernet connector near power connector Green or Orange LED, depending camera serial number	Link Beat and network activity	Off - No network connection On - Link beat detected, network ready Blinking - network activity, packets being sent or received
Next to System status LED	System status	See table below.
Close to Multi-function button	Camera status	See table below.

Global device status indications

• All LEDs off and fan off means no power.

• Red indicates error.

• If fan is on and system status LED is off then the device firmware needs to be updated (FPGA EEPROM contents are invalid). One customer used the wrong power supply and had these same symptoms, so first check you are using the power supply that came with the camera.

• Blinking LED indicates activity.

System LED

The System LED indicates the current camera status condition.

Multiple status conditions may occur simultaneously, but the LED can only show one status condition at a time. The following table lists the status indications in priority order.

Color	status	Meaning
Off	Error	No power. If your fan is not spinning and no LEDs are illuminated, then you need to check your power source and cabling.
Red	Error	System processor not booting. Micro SD card needs to be re-imaged. We refer to re-imaging the micro SD card as unbricking the camera.
Red blinking	Error	If camera LED is also blinking red, then the camera update file loaded on the big SD card is corrupt. You can redo the software update.
Red / Green	Error	Test mode - you will not see this in normal operation.
Red / Yellow	Error	Configured for DHCP-only but no DHCP server has provided an IP address. Camera cannot communicate over Ethernet. DHCP-only is not supported yet, so you will not see this in normal operation.
Red / Magenta		Unused.
Yellow blinking		System boot in progress. Blinks for 26 seconds then turns solid yellow. May take up to 146 seconds the first time a recovery image micro SD Card is used.
Yellow / Blue	Warning	System ready, Ethernet not connected.
Yellow		System ready, Ethernet connected, using fixed IP address 10.11.12.13
Magenta		System ready, Ethernet connected, using fixed IP address other than default (10.11.12.13) IP address.
Blue blinking		System boot in progress. Ethernet connected, camera using DHCP assigned IP address.
Blue		System ready, Ethernet connected, using DHCP assigned IP address.
White pattern		System firmware update in progress. Do not power cycle. See table below.

Troubleshooting hint: If, after power on, your system LED blinks yellow or blinks blue, and never stops blinking, you need to do a factory reset.

Software update status

An update can take around 8 minutes depending on the camera mode - be patient!. You can monitor the update progress by noting the the system LED pattern and using the following table.

Pattern	Action	Duration
Yellow blinking	booting	15 sec
White / Yellow	verifying update tarball	38 sec
White blinking with camera LED White blinking	Run update script optionally included in the update tarball	0 sec
White	verifying update image	38 sec
White / Cyan	build new root fs	4 sec
White / Magenta	switch to new root fs	3 sec
White / Green	saving to micro SD	4:55 min
Yellow blinking	rebooting	15 sec
White blinking	saving to SPI EEPROM	47 sec (SC1) 1:20 sec (SC2/SC2+/SC2X)
Yellow blinking	rebooting	15 sec
White / Blue	system performing factory reset or restoring user settings after firmware upgrade	7 sec

Camera LED

The Camera LED indicates the current camera status condition.
Multiple status conditions may occur simultaneously, but the LED can only show one status condition at a time. The following table lists the status indications in priority order.

Color	Matching web message	Meaning
Off	*no message*	Waiting for system to become ready.
Red / Blue	Storage Unusable, Trying to Save	No usable storage device, usually due to the storage device being full and camera is ready to save video(s). Try a different storage device, such as a different SD card.
Red / White	Storage Unusable, No Genlock	No usable storage device, usually due to the storage device being full and receiver camera unable to detect genlock signal from source camera. Try a different storage device.
Red / Green	Storage Unusable	No usable storage device, usually due to the storage device being full and camera is ready to be triggered. Try a different storage device.
Red / Magenta	Storage Unusable, Triggered	No usable storage device, usually due to the storage device being full and camera has been triggered and is filling post-trigger buffer. Try a different storage device.
Blue / White	Saving No Genlock Signal	Saving captured video to storage device and receiver camera unable to detect genlock signal from source camera.
Blue / Green	Saving, Ready	Saving captured video to storage device and camera is ready to be triggered. (Background Save Mode)
Blue / Magenta	Saving, Triggered	Saving captured video to storage device and camera has been triggered and is filling post-trigger buffer. (Background Save Mode)
Blue blinking	Saving	Saving captured video to storage device.
White blinking	No Genlock Signal	Genlock receiver camera unable to detect genlock signal from source camera.
White / Green	Genlock Configuration Warning	Incompatible Genlock source and receiver settings and camera is ready to be triggered.
White / Magenta	Genlock Configuration Warning	Incompatible Genlock source and receiver settings and camera has been triggered and is filling post-trigger buffer.
Green blinking	Pre-trigger Fill, Ready	Filling pre-trigger buffer and camera is ready to be triggered.
Green / Magenta	Camera Shutter Warning	Shutter failure. You can still capture videos, but the image quality will be degraded.
Green / Yellow	Camera Memory Warning	DDR3 memory initialization failed. You can still capture videos, but the image quality will be degraded.
Green / Cyan	All Capture Buffers Full	Trigger is disabled due to all DDR3 capture buffers being full. Occurs in manual save mode.
Green	Ready	Pre-trigger buffer filled (new capture video frames overwriting oldest data) and camera is ready to be triggered.
Magenta blinking	Triggered	Camera has been triggered and is filling post-trigger buffer.
Cyan	Reviewing	Reviewing previously captured, but unsaved videos. Individual frames that have been captured can be review and regions captured videos can be selectively saved.
Yellow blinking	Calibrating Camera	Calibrating.
White	Attached Accessories	Overrides the current camera LED pattern for 3 seconds to indicate an accessory, such as a radar device, has been attached.
