Optimizing the Video

Operation, cont’d

The TPR150 receiver features cable equalization controls for high and low frequency adjustments and RGB skew control to compensate for misconvergence of colors that can result from long CAT 5 cable runs. The following steps detail how to use these features to optimize the output image.

These adjustments should be made with the highest resolution input selected on the TPT150 transmitter.

1.	Carefully set the rear panel RGB skew controls to minimum
	(fully counterclockwise).
2.	Power up the transmitter, receiver, and display.
3.	Select the highest resolution.
4.	As needed, use the front panel low		CABLE EQUALIZATION
