Black Box iPATH ACR1000A-CTL-24 User Manual page 50

Hot Plug Detect Signal Period
By default this is set at 100ms, which is sufficient for most graphics cards. Occasionally it may be necessary to adjust this. A
Black Box engineer will advise if necessary.
Background Refresh
The local sends portions of the video image only when they change. In order to give the best user experience, the local also sends
the whole video image, at a lower frame rate, in the background. The Background Refresh parameter controls the rate at which
this background image is sent. The default value is 'every 32 frames', meaning that a full frame is sent in the background every
32 frames. Reducing this to 'every 64 frames' or more will reduce the amount of bandwidth that the local consumes. On a high-
traffic network this parameter should be reduced in this way to improve overall system performance. Options: Every 32 frames,
Every 64 frames, Every 128 frames, Every 256 frames or Disabled.
Frame Skipping
Frame Skipping involves 'missing out' video frames between those captured by the local. For video sources that update only
infrequently or for those that update very frequently but where high fidelity is not required, frame skipping is a good strategy for
reducing the overall bandwidth consumed by the system. Range: 0 to 99%.
Serial Settings
Serial Parity, Serial Data Bits, Serial Stop Bits, Serial Speed
This group of settings allows you to define the key parameters for the AUX port of the local so that it matches the operation of the
device attached to it.

This page is displayed whenever a new local is added to the network.
The IP Address 1 field, showing the IP address that has been assigned by DHCP. Before iPATH can add the device into its
database, a new IP address must be added to IP Address 1. This is the system IP address and applies equally for Agility and
Agility dual.
Agility dual units have a Teaming port which provides a second 1Gigabyte link port which can be used for bandwidth doubling
and/or redundancy. The IP address 2 field is for the Teaming port. In order to use the Teaming port, IP address 2 field must be
given a valid IP address. For Agility units, this field will remain blank.
