Tearing troubleshooting card
The checks in order, from "is it the source or the display?" to frame rate, vsync/frame lock and reference. One printable page, one phone-sized version.
EDID/HDCP decision tree
No picture, wrong resolution, or a black screen that flickers back: a yes/no path through the handshake, with what to swap or reset at each branch.
Genlock and reference checklist
Reference type and format, termination, which devices should lock, and how to confirm each one actually did, before doors.
Browser tear-test page
Open it on any screen to see whether the path tears or stutters: moving bars, a frame counter and a refresh-rate readout.
