4.7.3 Transmitters > Configure Transmitter
When you click
for a particular transmitter, this page lists information about the unit and allows numerous settings to be
configured.
IP Address
Allows you to alter the IP address of the transmitter unit. Any change in address will be enacted when you click the "Save"
button at the foot of the page. Any IP connections currently made to the transmitter will be ended.
Device Name, Description and Location
These are useful identifiers for the transmitter unit and its exact location. These become even more valuable as the number of
transmitters within the system increases.
Enable Dummy Boot Keyboard
It is often necessary to have a keyboard reported at start up. This setting means that a "Virtual Keyboard" is always reported to
the USB host. It may be necessary to disable this for use with some KVM switches.
USB Speed
Select Low/full speed or High speed USB operation.
USB Hub Size
Select either a 13 or 7 port USB hub. This determines the number of USB devices that can be connected to a single Transmitter.
Peak Bandwidth Limiter
The transmitter will use as much of the available network bandwidth as necessary to achieve optimal data quality, although
typically the transmitter will use considerably less than the maximum available. In order to prevent the transmitter from 'hogging'
too much of the network capacity, you can reduce this setting to place a tighter limit on the maximum bandwidth permissible to
the transmitter. Range: 1 to 95%.
Video Settings
This section allows you to directly adjust various key video controls within the transmitter in order to obtain the most efficient
operation taking into account connection speeds and the nature of the video images sent by that transmitter.
Magic Eye
Determines whether the Magic Eye feature should be enabled on Agility (not Agility revision 1) transmitters. Magic Eye works to
overcome the issues with increased bandwidth usage caused by 'dithering' techniques used on some computers, such as Apple
Macs. See the Agility Dual user guide for more details.
DDC
Determines whether video configuration details should be harvested from connected display screens or a static fixed EDID report
should be used. Care must be taken when selecting a Dual Link Video resolution as only Agility Dual units support a Dual Link
Video resolutions. In the case of a Dual Link EDID being set in the Global settings, no EDID will be set on Video port 2 of the
Agility Dual transmitters.
EDID optimisation
When this option is ticked, the Transmitters will compare the native resolution settings of their monitors when switching. If the
monitor has the same native resolution as the previous one, the new EDID is not sent to the graphics card. This speeds up
switching as the graphics card does not have to go through a hotplug detect routine when a new receiver is switched to that
channel. If the new receiver has a monitor with a different native resolution, then the EDID will be updated to allow for a change
in video mode.
Hot Plug Detect Control
Determines whether to enable hot plug detection for monitors. By default this is enabled.
