system is set to ingest SD source media and the signal is present from the source.

HD REF Blinks when a High Definition Reference signal is connected and constantly on when the

Nitris DNA is locked to the incoming Reference signal.

SD REF Blinks when a Standard Definition Reference signal is connected and constantly on when the
