This dialog provides access to all of the key video settings that determine image quality and link performance.

Setting the Threshold manually

Occasionally it can be useful to manually adjust the Threshold setting, such as when there is a KVM switch OSD banner that cannot be easily removed from the

Phase

The phase setting adjusts the alignment of the host video output and the remote system video display to achieve the sharpest image.

Horizontal position Determines the horizontal position of the host screen image within the viewer window.

Threshold

The threshold is effectively a noise filter that differentiates between valid video signals and background noise or inteference. This has the effect of reducing unnecessary video signals between the AdderLink IP and the remote system, thus improving performance.

display.

1Use the ‘Calibrate all’ function to ensure that all other settings are optimised.

2Click the Threshold left arrow button to decrement the setting by one and observe the Display activity indicator.

3Repeat step 2 until the Display activity indicator suddenly rises to a much higher level (i.e. 50%). This will mean that you have reached the noise boundary. At this point, increment the Threshold value by 2 or 3 points to achieve an optimum setting.

All settings can be individually subjected to an auto configuration (click the appropriate ‘Auto’ button) and the most can also be manually adjusted.

Use the ‘Calibrate all’ button to automatically determine the optimum settings for all items.

Note: Before using the Calibrate all option, ensure that there are no on-screen display elements generated by any connected KVM switch (such as a host name label or menu). Due to the differing video rates of these items compared to the video image from the host itself this can confuse the calibration process into giving a much higher Threshold rate than is necessary, thus slowing the video response.

AdderLink IP specifications

Adder Technology's AdderLink IP is a cutting-edge solution designed to extend and manage KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) signals over IP networks. This innovative technology facilitates the remote access and control of computers and servers, making it an essential tool for organizations that require efficient management of their IT resources.

One of the main features of AdderLink IP is its ability to transmit high-resolution video signals with minimal latency. Supporting resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz, it ensures that users experience clarity and responsiveness that is comparable to direct connections. This capability is crucial for industries such as broadcasting, media production, and any environment where graphics-intensive applications are commonplace.

The AdderLink IP employs advanced digitization techniques to ensure high-quality video transmission over standard IP networks. Its use of H.264 video compression allows for efficient bandwidth usage while maintaining image integrity. With this feature, users can easily adapt to various network conditions without compromising performance.

Another standout characteristic is the support for real-time remote access through a web browser, allowing users to connect to their systems from virtually anywhere in the world. Whether for troubleshooting, maintenance, or system management, the AdderLink IP empowers IT professionals with the flexibility they need to perform their duties effectively. The built-in security protocols ensure that access is both secure and reliable.

Moreover, AdderLink IP is designed to be user-friendly. Configuration and management can be performed via an intuitive web interface, simplifying the setup process for users of all technical skill levels. Compatibility with a range of operating systems and devices further enhances its versatility.

Furthermore, the system supports multi-user access, enabling multiple operators to connect to the same devices simultaneously without conflicts. This functionality is particularly useful in collaborative environments where teams need concurrent access to critical systems.

In summary, Adder Technology's AdderLink IP stands out as a robust solution for KVM over IP needs. With its high-quality video transmission, real-time remote access, ease of use, and enhanced security features, it enables organizations to effectively manage their IT infrastructure, thereby boosting productivity and operational efficiency. As the demand for remote access increases, AdderLink IP remains a pivotal component in the evolution of IT management solutions.
