modify the settings. If you find any menus are grayed out and inaccessible, it may be that the
menu is not relevant to the current workflow and has been automatically grayed out.
If all menus are grayed out, you may need to download a newer version of the Multibridge Utility.
Alternatively, the computer may not be connected to Broadcast Converter via USB. Sometimes
older USB 1.1 cables don’t work well with USB 2.0 connections and it is better to use a well
shielded USB cable.
