Input equalization
The signal amplitude decreases after passing through long copper cables. The input port
can amplify the signal to a certain level, which is defined by the DVI standard. This
process is called equalization.
The Auto setting means that equalization will be adaptive (depending on the cable
length). By default, automatic equalization is enabled.
Automatic mode usually provides perfect transmission but at longer distances and higher
resolutions, manual equalization may be necessary. Manual equalization can be set to
fixed 3, 9, 25, 35 or 40dB. Longer cables need higher equalization.
Keep in mind that a previously set manual equalization level may not be suitable for a
different system. It is always advised to use the automatic mode and only adjust the
equalization manually if the auto mode does not give a good result.
