Step 9 — Connect power

Connect a standard IEC AC power connector (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz) to this socket (i). Power on input and output devices.

Step 10 — Set rear panel DIP switches

SOG

 

DDSP SERR SPARE

The first three rear panel DIP switches (j) control: Sync on Green (SOG) — Set to on (up) for RGsB output; set to off for RGBHV or

RGBS output.

Digital Display Sync Processing (DDSP) — Set to off (down) for sync processing; set to on (up) for no sync processing (may be needed for some LCD and DLP plasma displays) . Serration Pulses — Set to on (up) to keep serration pulses; set to off to remove them. If there is flagging or bending at the top of the video image, set this switch to off.

NTurning on the DDSP switch disables the horizontal shift.

Step 11 — Set rear panel Gain/Peak switch

This rear panel switch (i) can be set to Unity (no gain and no peaking), gain with 50% peaking, gain with 100% peaking. For cable runs of 125 feet or less, use the Unity setting.

Step 12 — Set front panel DIP switches

These front panel ID bit termination DIP switches (d) must both be set to on (up) if using a laptop and no local monitor. Both switches must be set to off if using a local monitor.

Step 13 — Adjust horizontal shift

This front panel knob (f) adjusts the horizontal shift of the remote output display device(s).
