System Setup - AMX Optima Instruction Manual

Control PC and CatPro Wizard
Control PC Requirements
The Control PC, which runs the CatPro Wizard software*, connects via a null modem cable to the
Control port on the Optima. The Control PC settings and the CatPro Wizard settings (which default to
serial port COM 1 and baud rate 9600) must match. Once the system is set up and no further changes to
the display settings are necessary, the Control PC can be disconnected.
* The CatPro Wizard adjusts the video signal (as seen on the Destination Monitor) to clear the image and
compensate for skew.

System Setup

An Optima RGBHV+Stereo to CatPro system works in conjunction with the CatPro RGBHV+Stereo
RX Module FG1010-48-01 (see page 93). The CatPro (RJ-45) output connector on the board functions
as a transmitter (TX), allowing the signals to be sent over any of the supported cable types to the
CatPro RX (Receiver) Module (or to Modula CatPro Input boards) and from there to the destination
monitors.
A typical setup is illustrated below. Use the hardware on the module to clear the image by adjusting gain
and peak and by compensating for skew.
