These basic steps are useful in most cases when there is no output to see and or no preview to see.
Even if the output remains black, these steps can sometimes solve the problem.


Check Discovery IP

 

Check to make sure you are not connected to Wi-Fi IP address
Try Loop back (127.0.0.1)
If connected to larger system: make sure you’re on the right NIC
Mapping -> Live, look for a graph in the inspector or green circle at machine to see if this is a Discovery issue.

 

 


 

Important

 please make sure you restart Pixera anytime you change discover IP

 

Does Client IP Filter have your client machine in it? If this is set to 255.255.255.255 it won't be able to see any other machine on the network


Outputs Activated

Check that the outputs are activated in Mapping -> Live (F5).

 


Use Test Pattern to determine if the engine is outputting, this can help determine if this is an issue with Pixera or the content!



Try using On-Screen Statistics (Ctrl+9) to see if they show up on the outputs


Firewalls

Please make sure that you have deactivated Windows Defender or any other firewalls active on that NIC

Check Presence

Check to make sure the Pixera Version matches the Presence Version on the clients. You can do this using HUB
Check that “Used Adapter IP” in Presence matches the Discovery IP In Pixera.

 

Important

Restart Presence if you change this IP

 

 

Check Content Codec

If you are experiencing stuttering or jittery playback, please check your codecs

Supported File Formats - Codecs 


Check Storage Drive

Another thing to check for stuttering playback is to double check where your content is being played back from. Often the drive that Pixera is referencing is a removable storage drive. 

Check default storage drive in Mapping→Live to make sure that your clients are on their fastest possible drives.

 


Reset PIXERA to factory default settings

Make sure that your problem is not caused by an incorrect setting.
Reset PIXERA to factory default settings 


Other Things to try

Open Pixera/Presence in administrator mode
