SET-UP instructions (Mixed DVI and VGA)

The following set-up instructions are for systems that use a mixture of VGA and DVI products. Systems with DVI video cards, DVI monitors and use DVI cables normally do not require any set-up.

Set-up consists of adjusting the pixelclock first, then adjusting the phase. To properly do this, an appropriate image must be displayed on the monitor. This image should be a simple 8 x 8 pixel image with altering black and white stripes (4 black and 4 white stripes)

You can create this image using a graphics package that can create a picture 8 pixels wide by 8 pixels high. Create 4 black columns 1 pixel wide by 8 pixels high and 4 white columns 1 pixel wide and 8 pixels high. Save this image in the Windows folder as Burst.bmp (C:\WINDOWS\BURST.BMP)

The recommended procedure for setting the pixelclock and phase is to use the OSD, auto-detect feature. To do this, perform the following:

1.Assign the “Burst.bmp” image you created as your Windows background, and a Tiled display. The desktop should show fine black and white vertical stripes over the total desktop background.

2.Make all connections (CPU to transmitter, transmitter to receiver, and receiver unit to KVM station.)

(Note: The Remote monitor should not be a TFT flat-panel monitor, it should be a VGA monitor. The CrystalView Pro CAT5 digitizes the signals and the TFT monitor also digitizes the signal. Digitizing the signals twice will product invalid results using auto-detect. Once the pixelclock and phase are adjusted, a TFT monitor can be

connected.)

3.Start the OSD (CTRL + Shift + I)

4.Select Automatic detection of the number of pixels per line and the best phase” then press Enter to start the auto-detect procedure (See Figure 7).

If the background image’s black and white stripes are sharp and without jitter or smearing when the auto-detect function completes, no further adjustments are needed. If there is smearing or jitter, the pixelclock and phase must be adjusted manually.
