FAQ
Why is the video screen black on FS Score / FS Cutter?
The software does not receive data from the RTSP stream.
- Check if all devices connected to network.
- Check if camera is connected to RTSP device (for example the Teradek Cube).
- Check if all devices are powered and running.
- Check for errors indicated at RTSP device (Teradek Cube has a small screen and some LEDs)
- Check for correct IP address to your RTSP device, look for rtsp.ini.
Re-connect all devices.
Re-start the software.
Why is the video hitching or not running smooth?
This issue may be caused by performance problems:
- Processor too slow; other applications may impact the performance, e.g. virus scanners or windows updates
→ Disable all background processes. If this does not help, you will need to update your PC hardware - Network jam
→ Check your network traffic, split your network or check for speedier network. - Video bit rate is too low (reduces visible quality)
→ Use higher bit rate - Video bit rate is too high (overheat the network)
→ Use lower bitrate - Too many clients are connected to the RTSP device via direct connection
→ Use Multicast instead
Why does the Cutter not connect to the Scoring System?
Check if:
- All network components are connected and working properly
- The network has been set up correctly, i.e. if the Scoring PC is connected to the network and no IP addresses used twice
- The Scoring System is running properly
- ISUCutter3FS contains the correct IP address and the correct port, have a look into dvcutter.ini
