DDC Options
The options within this section are related to the Display Data Channel features supported by the AdderView CATx 1000. DDC is an industry standard format that allows computer systems to be informed of the capabilities of the video monitor connected to them.
DDC Source
Settings: AUTO, LOCAL, REMOTE, DEFAULT
Determines which user port monitor should be interrogated to discover its capabilities. AUTO begins with the local user port and if it fails, it then checks the remote port and if that also fails to produce a result, it uses a set of default values. The LOCAL and REMOTE settings force the unit to interrogate only the local and remote monitors respectively, and DEFAULT uses only the pre- programmed settings.
DDC Refresh
Settings: AT START, DISABLED
AT START sets the AdderView CATx 1000 to read DDC information from the selected source at power up. When DISABLED, no new DDC data is sought and existing information is used. When viewing this menu, press F7 to discover DDC information from the chosen source immediately.
Settings: NONE.8.1, ODD.8.1, EVEN.8.1, NONE.8.2, NONE.7.2, ODD.7.2, EVEN.7.2
Configures the data format used by the serial port and must match the format used by the connected power switch(es). The NONE/ODD/EVEN portion relates to the parity checking; the 7/8 value is the size of the data byte and the 1/2 value determines the stop bit(s) used after each data byte.
