2.7 Setting the video compensation manually
The X-KVM incorporates fine video compensation amplifiers to maximise the picture
quality for any given length of twisted pair cable. The X-KVM can be set to
automatically adjust the compensation amplifiers to match the cable or you can
adjust the amplifiers manually. Automatic compensation is enabled by setting option
switch 4 on the remote unit to the OFF position. Manual compensation is selected if
switch 4 is in the ON position. The best video compensation setting is often a matter
of personal preference and so for the best picture quality we recommend that you
fine tune the amplifiers manually. To do this use the following procedure.
STEP 1
Enter video compensation mode by pressing the HOTKEYS together with f on
the keyboard connected to the remote receiver unit. The HOTKEYS are those that
were set using the option switches (CTRL + SHIFT by default).
For example, assuming the default hotkeys, press these keys together :
b j f
STEP 2
The X-KVM will now be in compensation adjustment mode. This is indicated by the
NUM, CAPS and SCROLL lock lights on your keyboard. These will flash in
sequence at a rate that indicates the level of compensation: a slow rate of flash
indicates a compensation setting suitable for short lengths of twisted pair cable and
a fast rate of flash indicates a compensation setting that is suitable for long lengths
of twisted pair cable.
