If you have a QWERTY keyboard layout (English, German etc.) then press:
If you have an AZERTY keyboard layout (French) then press:
The screen will go blank for a few seconds whilst the C5 KVM applies measurement signals to the cable to
measure the length differences between the twisted pairs. When the picture is restored a report similar to that
shown below will be generated:
SKEW REPORT
RED +0.5M
GREEN +1.0M
BLUE +0.0M
SWITCHES ON
A3 B4
The first section of the report indicates the length differences between the twisted pairs that are carrying the red,
green and blue signals. One of the colours will have a reported length difference of 0.0M – this colour is carried by
the SHORTEST twisted pair. The other reported lengths indicated the difference between the twisted pair used to
carry the colour signal and the shortest twisted pair.
The second section of the report indicates the skew compensator switches that should be switched ON to
compensate for the twisted pair length differences indicated by the report. All other switches should be OFF. You
will see that each of the switches is constructed using 4 individual sliders. To set the switch ON, all four sliders
must be moved to the ON position. To set the switch OFF, all four sliders must be set to the OFF position. The
example skew report shown above indicates that switches A3 and B4 should be ON and all the other switches
should be OFF.
To compensate for colour split, setup the skew compensator as indicated and insert it in the twisted pair cable run
between the local transmitter and remote receiver as shown in figure 11. You will need a short patch lead to do
this.
The settings that are reported represent the compensation required to remove the skew that is introduced by the
twisted pair cable. There is sometimes some colour skew present on video signals being generated by the
computer. Consequently the video picture can sometimes be slightly improved by using skew compensator settings
that are slightly different to those reported (see section 6.5).
