RGBHV+Stereo to CatPro Boards with TXs & RXs
Routing Path B – Cabling and the Wizard Method
Source
For Routing Path B, video adjustments are made with the CatPro Wizard, which adjusts gain, peak, and
skew for a sharp picture on the Destination Monitor.
To cable the system for Routing Path B:
1.
Place all source and destination devices in their final installation locations, reserving one of the
monitors for Step 3 (reserve a monitor with the highest resolution available).
2. Cable the complete routing paths from the source devices to the destination devices (FIG. 51). All
cable should be the actual cable that will be used. The minimum cable length for a Modula CatPro
Input board should not be less than 12 feet (3.66 m).

3.
Place the reserved monitor from Step 1 (which will be used for calibration purposes) close to the
Control PC. The reserved monitor can be used as part of the last routing path that is calibrated.
4.
Connect the Control PC (with the CatPro Wizard installed) to the Modula using a null modem
cable; the Control PC settings and the CatPro Wizard settings (which default to serial port Com 1
and baud rate 9600) must match. (Leave the Control PC connected until the system is completely
adjusted.)
Saving and Restoring Files
When a file is opened with the CatPro Wizard, the settings are loaded to the CatPro input board on the
Modula. Changes made in the Wizard are immediately reflected on the output device(s) the source signal
is routed to. After all adjustments have been made, the settings must be saved to the Modula, or they will
be lost when power is cycled. We recommend saving the settings to a PC file as a backup, so they can be
reloaded if necessary.
Test Image File
Test image .pdf files for adjusting the display are provided on the AMX AutoPatch CD. The test image
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 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.
