24Emerge EMS Installer/User Guide

Adjustments

Video signals are susceptible to the effects of long distance cables and for this reason, every Emerge EMS receiver includes brightness and sharpness adjustment dials. Additionally, the Emerge EMS1000MP-R receivers are also equipped with two extra dials to eliminate the effects of color skew within the video image.

Brightness and Sharpness Adjustments

The brightness and sharpness adjustments provided on every Emerge EMS receiver allow you to compensate for any losses incurred within long cable links. These two adjustments can be made in any order and independently of each other.

When making adjustments it is necessary to have access to the Emerge EMS receiver and to be able to view one or both connected display screens. Both adjustments, sharpness in particular, are made easier when viewing high contrast images with vertical edges, such as black lines on a white background.

NOTE: Both video outputs are equally affected by your brightness and/or sharpness adjustments.

To Display a Suitable High Contrast Image

•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.

•A WHITE shadow on the right of the character indicates OVER compensation.
