Page 7: Auxiliary System Support
Chapter 1: Specifications • A specific DDC/EDID profile can be copied from a particular display and stored inside the transmitter’s internal non-volatile memory. This method enables the best possible compatibility with a specific display that would otherwise not work properly if simply using the factory-default DDC/EDID profile. - Page 8 Standard CAT6 cable can exhibit much greater skew than standard CAT5/5e and may require skew compensation beyond what the standard product offers. Contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or info@blackbox.com for details. The CAT5/5e/6 cable should be suitably rated listed (DUZX) communications cables, TYPE CMP, CMR, CMG, or CM as designated in the NEC.

Chapter 3: Installation 4. Make any required configuration changes via the LED/button user interface, if the receiver is equipped with this capability. This is for skew compensation. 5. Adjust the receiver’s EQ and/or SKEW (optional) settings. NOTE: If this adjustment is not made, it can result in a poor or no image on the display. 3.3 Configuration The transmitter has a number of configurable operating parameters, and the factory-default settings will work in most applications. -
