If you connect an HDMI source and the LINK LOCK is not ON, it means that our device is not recognizing Video
resolution from the incoming source.
The TV will still show our Thor Broadcast LOGO, but not the incoming Video.
In this case please connect your HDMI source directly to the TV and try to select the input source from the options as an
HDMI video source, confirm it works. Some TV models offer different supported video resolutions.
The Petite is a broadcast device that can only see broadcast resolutions (PC resolutions may vary)
The best results are from 720p/59.94 or 60 Hz, 1080i/59.94 or 60 Hz and 1080p/59.94 or 60 Hz
Do not leave your video source from any HDMI device: DVD player, Cable STB or Roku device on AUTO resolution,
please select a resolution that will remain CONSTANT, again 720p or 1080I/P arebest.
Please note that our unit only supports 480i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p in 59.94Hz and 60Hz incoming video resolution, it
is important to make sure your video source is set to a STATIC VIDEO RESOLUTION for any of those formats. Do not
leave your source set to Auto the unit will not operate correctly.
