•Total pixels

NWhen you make horizontal or vertical position changes (shift the image), the setting is changed in the receiver(s). The master receiver reports the shift values to the DA via the optional Optical 2 cable connected betweeen the DA and the master receiver.

If your computer is connected to either of the DA's serial ports, and the Optical 2 cable is not connected between the master receiver and the DA in your system, you can still shift the image in the control program's Video Adjustment area, but the program cannot report the position values.
