REMOTE UNIT CONFIGURATION & OPERATION

4.2Video Adjustments

Remote units feature a number of correction tools to simplify video optimization. This procedure is straightforward and only needs to be carried out once.

For each video channel, the Remote unit allows you to optimize independently:

•Low frequency (LF) equalization

•High frequency (HF) equalization

•Red delay

•Green delay

•Blue delay

To help automate the procedure, the Remote unit offers the following unique tools:

•Assisted EQ

Allows you to ‘step-through’ a table of preset LF and HF EQ values for different cable lengths.

•Quick Skew

Inserts a standard delay on a specified color (19ns - a typical value suitable for most applications).

•Channel 0

Allows you to apply video adjustments to both video channels simultaneously (dual- head units only).

To get the best video image, you are recommended to follow the procedures for manual fine- tuning (see Adjusting Video, page 31).

You may want to read Appendix D: Advanced Cabling Issues (Skew) on page 55 to understand how to achieve optimum video quality with your particular CATx interconnection cable.
