Computer video compensation

The video compensation for connected computers is achieved using the main menu. Although the compensation can be applied from any local, remote or global user port, it is best achieved using the local user port because this provides the most direct view of the computer output. The compensation

is achieved simply by registering the link cable length, however, different cables can vary in their characteristics so it is often useful to ‘fine tune’ the compensation by eye.

Note: CATx cables below 10m give very little loss and so it is not normally necessary to be concerned about setting any computer video compensation if short CATx cables are being used between the MC5 and the CAM for each computer.

To apply computer video compensation

1Place a computer (connected via its CAM and category 5, 5e or 6 cable) into the highest resolution video mode at which it will be used.

2If possible, use a monitor and keyboard connected to the MC5 local user port.

3Display the MC5 main menu and use it to select the appropriate computer. Note: You must highlight the computer name and press to select it.
