xConfiguration Video Output DVI [2,4] RGBQuantizationRange
All devices with DVI outputs should follow the rules for RGB video quantization range defined in
CEA-861. Unfortunately some devices do not follow the standard and this configuration may be
used to override the settings to get a perfect image with any display. The default value is set to Full
because most DVI displays expects full quantization range.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Auto/Full/Limited>
Auto: RGB quantization range is automatically selected based on video format according to CEA-
861-E. CE video formats will use limited quantization range levels. IT video formats will use full
quantization range levels.
Full: Full quantization range. The R, G, B quantization range includes all code values (0 - 255). This
is defined in CEA-861-E.
Limited: Limited Quantization Range. R, G, B quantization range that excludes some code values at
the extremes (16 - 235). This is defined in CEA-861-E.
Example:
xConfiguration Video Output DVI 2 RGBQuantizationRange: Full
xConfiguration Video Output DVI [2,4] MonitorRole
The DVI monitor role describes which video stream will be shown on the monitor connected to the
video output DVI-I connector.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <First/Second/PresentationOnly/Third/Fourth/Recorder>
First/Second/Third/Fourth: Define the role of the monitor in a multi-monitor setup. In a single-
monitor setup, there is no difference between First, Second, Third and Fourth.
PresentationOnly: Show presentation video stream if active, and nothing else.
Recorder: Show all participants, including the local main video. If active, also show the
presentation.
Example:
xConfiguration Video Output DVI 4 MonitorRole: First
xConfiguration Video Output DVI [2,4] OverscanLevel
Some TVs or other monitors may not display the whole image sent out on the systems video output,
but cuts the outer parts of the image. In this case this setting can be used to let the system not use
the outer parts of video resolution. Both the video and the OSD menu will be scaled in this case.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Medium/High/None>
Medium: The system will not use the outer 3% of the output resolution.
High: The system will not use the outer 6% of the output resolution
None: The system will use all of the output resolution.
Example:
xConfiguration Video Output DVI 2 OverscanLevel: None
xConfiguration Video Output DVI [2,4] Resolution
Select the preferred resolution for the monitor connected to the video output DVI-I connector. This
will force the resolution on the monitor.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Auto/640_480_60/800_600_60/1024_768_60/1280_1024_60/1280_720_50/1280
_720_60/1920_1080_50/1920_1080_60/1280_768_60/1360_768_60/1366_768_60/1600_1200_
60/1680_1050_60/1920_1200_60>
Auto: The system will automatically try to set the optimal resolution based on negotiation with the
connected monitor.
Range: 640x480@60p, 800x600@60p, 1024x768@60p, 1280x1024@60p, 1280x720@50p,
1280x720@60p, 1920x1080@50p, 1920x1080@60p, 1280x768@60p, 1360x768@60p,
1366x768@60p, 1600x1200@60p, 1680x1050@60p, 1920x1200@60p
Example:
xConfiguration Video Output DVI 2 Resolution: Auto
xConfiguration Video Output Composite [5] MonitorRole
The Composite monitor role describes which video stream will be shown on the monitor connected
to the video output Composite connector.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <First/Second/PresentationOnly/Third/Fourth/Recorder>
First/Second/Third/Fourth: Define the role of the monitor in a multi-monitor setup. In a single-
monitor setup, there is no difference between First, Second, Third and Fourth.
PresentationOnly: Show presentation video stream if active, and nothing else.
Recorder: Show all participants, including the local main video. If active, also show the
presentation.
Example:
xConfiguration Video Output Composite 5 MonitorRole: First
xConfiguration Video Output Composite [5] OverscanLevel

Requires user role: ADMIN

High: The system will not use the outer 6% of the output resolution
None: The system will use all of the output resolution.
