This LED indicates that the Flyer has no video sync.
Audio and video recording/playback will be unreliable.
Caused by Toaster putting out illegal video on Main.
This usually occurs when the Toaster software is being
started, and when the Flyer is transitioning between
play and record modes (entering or leaving the record
panel).
