Hints and Tips
When commissioning a DataBay system the following tips could help speed up the process and
ensure a trouble-free installation:
Pre-Installation:
Undertake a full site survey. In addition to standard
practice, take particular note of accurate cable
lengths required, makes/models of the monitors
to be connected and take into account any
potential environmental factors that could cause
interference. It is also preferential to have all
devices powered from the same electrical phase
and with common grounding.
Wherever possible, bench test your proposed
system set-up at your facility before proceeding
to site. Use interconnecting cables as they will
be used on site, i.e. the same cable types and
lengths.
During Installation:
Follow the user manuals to assist the installation
process.
Firstly, if the first transmitter in the link has a local
monitor output, then connect up a monitor to this
port to confirm that the transmitter is receiving
a valid signal. Use the EQ control (if available)
on the transmitter to obtain the optimum picture
quality. You can then proceed to setting up the
receiver end.
Set-up the system by starting with the lowest
video resolution outputs from the video source
and establishing a working link. You can then
increase the display resolutions in stages to
ensure full system compatibility. Ensure the
monitor is capable of displaying at the desired
resolutions and refresh rates.
Most devices should function correctly with the
EQ set to AUTO. However, if this does not give
satisfactory results, then the EQ can be set
manually. Please note that in manual mode the
changes may not be instantaneous and may lag
by a second or two. Therefore, adjust the EQ
in small stages at a time and check the result
on screen.
If a monitor does not appear to be displaying
video, check the obvious things like power(!)
correct source mode selected (e.g. HDMI, VGA,
S-Video) and for correctly engaged connectors.
If this fails, completely power down the monitor
(not just standby) and then re-apply the power.
