Troubleshooting and Operator

Finding	Next useful action
No camera source	Select a detected device/mode, or Import Media; check the vendor driver and signal.
Input color undeclared	Confirm the actual camera curve/gamut/range/matrix, then apply Input Color.
Exposure	Revisit the opening slate and camera/input transform; lock exposure and take a new measurement.
Highlight clipping	Check camera/signal clipping; clipped pixels require a new recording.
Chart detection	Include the full central patch and chart; retry analysis with a suitable region.
Gray response	Check range, ramp and processor processing before calculating a correction.
Setup changed	Restore the saved settings or create a new run; stale results cannot authorize writes.
Missing result	Keep the sources; retry the affected job in a new job directory.
Approximation outside limits	Keep the numerical failure visible; reconsider the transform or use the more accurate route.
Unknown processor outcome	Read the recovery journal and prepare recovery; do not automatically retry.
Comparison rejected	Check the baseline link, separate new frames, readback, timestamps and unchanged camera settings.

Ask Studio Operator

Open Operator or press Ctrl+K. Enter a question and choose Diagnose Local. Local diagnosis uses the current calibration step, declared settings, quality checks and available device/capture findings. It remains usable offline.

Exact commands such as “open results” can propose a bounded action. Run Action is separate. Editing the question or changing its context revokes the proposal. Asking for help never applies a processor correction or starts output.

Outside Demo, hosted assistance requires Studio sign-in and an explicit Ask Hosted action. Its confirmation explains the text diagnostics sent; camera images and recordings are not automatically uploaded. Hosted answers are advice and cannot execute tools. Live account/server acceptance remains unverified in this development build.

Keep the run, referenced captures, result manifests and deployment journal together when reporting a problem. Record the firmware, camera settings, capture mode and visible error, plus whether it happened in Demo or on hardware.
