Video Display Adjustment - AMX Optima Instruction Manual

RGBHV+Stereo to CatPro I/O Boards (with RX Modules)

Video Display Adjustment

The image on the Destination Monitor may be unclear or distorted due to the cable length. Adjustments
are made on the CatPro RX Module to clear the image and compensate for the skew. Use the
potentiometers to adjust the gain and peak, and use the Adjust knob to adjust the skew and volume.

Tip: Be sure that the source device sending the signal to the display monitor (or device) has a sharp
picture before you start.
Test Image Files
Test image .pdf files for adjusting the display are provided on the AMX AutoPatch CD that shipped with
the CatPro RX Module(s). The test file is opened* on the Source PC and subsequently displays on the
Destination Monitor. The file names for the test image .pdf begin with the resolution (800x600,
1024x768, 1280x1024, etc.) and end with "SkewPattern" (e.g., 1280x1024SkewPattern.pdf). Select the
file with the resolution that corresponds to the resolution of the source signal (ideally this should be the
native resolution of the Destination Monitor).
* Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view the test image .pdf file. It is a free software program
available online at: www.adobe.com.
Gain and Peak
The Gain and Peak potentiometers on the CatPro RX Module are used to help compensate for the overall
cable length.
To adjust the gain and peak using the CatPro RX Module:
1. On the Source PC, open the test image .pdf file that corresponds to the resolution of the Source PC.
2.
Route the source to the destination.
The test image appears on the Destination Monitor (the image will be distorted).
