Video compensation sharpness and brightness

Video compensation (sharpness and brightness)

Using the in-built X100 controls you can adjust the picture sharpness and brightness to improve the remote picture quality.

Video compensation is best carried out when viewing high contrast images with vertical edges, such as black lines on a white background. When doing so, if you notice that the screen image is ‘fuzzy’ or ‘dark’ then the image controls may not be able to solve this condition.

To apply remote user video compensation

simultaneously, press the hotkeys (by default, and ) along with to enter configuration mode.

The three keyboard indicators (‘Num Lock’, ‘Caps Lock’ and ‘Scroll Lock’) will now begin to flash in sequence. The speed of the sequence indicates the

To display a suitable high contrast image The best way to clearly view the effect of sharpness and brightness adjustments is to display a high contrast image, with vertical edges, on the screen.

•Open a word processor, type the capital letter ‘H’, or ‘M’ and increase the point size to 72 or higher. For best results, the background should be white and the character should be black.

•A black shadow on the right of the character indicates under compensation.

level of the sharpness adjustment currently applied: the slower the rate, the lower the level of sharpness being applied.

Sharpness: for fine adjustment, for coarse adjustment.

There are 255 sharpness levels (one coarse step jumps 10 levels).

To autoset sharpness: Press to make the module calculate and apply an automatic compensation level - you can use this as a starting point for your fine tuning.

Note: If the monitor goes blank and switches off (due to oversetting
