----- Is the Decoder Card detected by the Driver? ----+==== Is the Decoder Card detected by the Driver? ==== 
 +\\  
 +Each time the MFCP is started, the driver communicates with the decoder card, we can see if the decoder was detected by looking for the driver in CentOs. 
 +\\  
 +    Run the command: 
 +     
 +    ls /dev 
 +     
 +     
 +    Among the listed files/folders you should see the following: 
 +     
 +    decoder0 
 +    sdi0 
 + 
 +{{:ls_dev.jpg?900|}} 
 +\\  
 +\\  
 +If these are missing, the card may have failed (or just failed to boot) if you restart the unit and still don't see these two entries then you may have a decoder card failure. 
 +\\  
 +\\  
 +If these are not listed then there is a hardware or driver issue with the card.  First step would be to try reinstalling. 
 +\\  
 +\\  
 + 
 +---- 
 +==== When the Decoder is in use ==== 
 + 
 +<file> 
 +    From the command line, run: 
 +     
 +    lsmod | grep decoder 
 + 
 +    You should see an output similar to the following: 
 +     
 +    decoder  22463  1 
 +     
 +    decoder is the decoder module 
 +     
 +    22463 is the driver size in bytes, so this may change depending on your verions 
 +     
 +    1 is the number of decodes. So 0 means you are not decoding using the module, and 1-4 is decodes (1 UHD or up  
 +    to 4 HD) 
 + 
 +     
 +     
 +    For the SDI: 
 + 
 +    lsmod | grep sdi 
 + 
 +    sdi  17706  1 
 +     
 +    Last number is number of instances using driver. 0 means the device isn't used.
