    ETUP This section briefly describes how to install your Cheetah V5 system and optimize the video signals. Unless you are an experienced user, we recommend that you follow the full procedures described in the rest of this manual. Refer to the command summary on page 9 when following this procedure.

  • Page 8: Video Input/Output

    CHEETAH V5 MODULES 81-9059-0571-0 REV.B IDEO NPUT UTPUT If possible, always use DVI output from your computer’s video card and DVI input to a monitor. This provides the optimum video signal. If you use a VGA output from your graphic source, the DVI Local unit must digitize the signal prior to transmission. Similarly, if your remote TFT screen uses a VGA input, it must digitize the signal from the Remote unit.

  • Page 9: Command Summary

    NTRODUCTION A basic Cheetah V5 system comprises a Local unit (transmitter) and a Remote unit (receiver). The Local unit connects directly to the computer using the supplied cable(s). The user console (monitor) attaches to the Remote unit. The Remote and Local units communicate video information along the interconnecting cable (see Figure 1).

The Indicator LEDs are located in the same positions on all models. The Communication Error and Link Status LEDs are to the left and right, respectively, of the Interconnect sockets.
  • Page 21 Figure 5 OSD Utility You can adjust the following properties using the OSD: • Adaptation to analog signal sources (VGA/RGB) – see also Monitor Setup, page 32. • Color temperature • Brightness/contrast • Saturation • OSD operation, factory reset.

  • Page 22: Opening The Osd

    CHEETAH V5 MODULES 81-9059-0571-0 REV.B PENING THE You can access the OSD in two ways: • Using a standard terminal program with a serial connection to the programming port. • Using our small WINDOWS™ program with a serial connection to the programming port.
  • Page 23 On all devices, you can use our small WINDOWS™ program, running on a WINDOWS™ computer for OSD access: Install the OSD program from the supplied CD or download from our website under the pesa/downloads page Connect the programming cable to the programming port of the Local (TX) unit.

  • Page 24: Using The Osd

    CHEETAH V5 MODULES 81-9059-0571-0 REV.B SING THE The OSD is an icon-based utility. The top line of symbols shows the main menu categories: Input Select Specify whether the input is analog (VGA) or digital (DVI) Scale Mode Choose whether transmission occurs at the original screen resolution (“transparent”) or the Extender imposes a fixed resolution.
  • Page 25 In many cases, after you have chosen a new setting, the OSD displays the following confirmation message: Highlight the Yes button and press the Enter key (<S> key on terminal or in Windows program) to confirm your choice. Alternatively, highlight the No button and press the Enter key (<S>...
  • Page 26 CHEETAH V5 MODULES 81-9059-0571-0 REV.B Input Select Some graphic cards are equipped with both DVI and VGA outputs. On powering up the CPU, the Extender system uses the first detected signal unless you explicitly specify the input type. Use the Input Select menu to specify the type of video signal to be used by the Local unit. The actual graphic source is displayed with a ‘[’...
  • Page 27 Scale Use the Scale menu to specify whether the Extender system changes the resolution of the input video. You can set the device for transparent transmission. In this case, the Remote unit generates a screen resolution and refresh rate to match that of the source. You can also specify that the output displays at a fixed screen resolution, regardless of that of the input signal.

  • Page 30 CHEETAH V5 MODULES 81-9059-0571-0 REV.B Tools Use the Tools menu to set the position and size of the OSD window, adjust the sharpness for a fixed resolution setting, set the color depth, reset the Extender system to its factory default settings or provide a test pattern.
  • Page 31 Auto Configuration Use the Auto Configuration submenu to define whether the Local unit carries out automatic detection of the number of pixels per line and the best phase after a mode change (a change of screen resolution and/or refresh rate at the graphic source). Using automatic detection (while displaying an appropriate test pattern) ensures an optimized image but the procedure introduces a delay in the picture appearing on the remote console screen.

  • Page 32: Monitor Setup

    CHEETAH V5 MODULES 81-9059-0571-0 REV.B Color Depth Use the Color Depth submenu to select the color depth of the transmitted screen picture. Transmissions can be in high color mode or low color mode. High color mode produces a better quality image but results in a lower frame rate (fps). Use low color mode if you require fast screen changes, for example video applications.

  • Page 33: Extender Setup

    If the picture quality is not acceptable after the automatic adjustment, you will have to manually adjust the pixel clock and pixel phase (in this order). Please follow the instructions in your monitor’s user manual. Press any key to exit the test pattern display. Exit the OSD.

  • Page 34: Setup Instructions For Vga Input

    CHEETAH V5 MODULES 81-9059-0571-0 REV.B VGA I ETUP NSTRUCTIONS FOR NPUT This procedure is designed to correct for discrepancies in the video signal due to analog/digital video conversion by the Extender system. You do not need to follow this procedure if you have a DVI graphics card connected to the Local unit. In this case, the video signal remains in a digital format through the Extender system.

  • Page 35: Troubleshooting

    With a poorly adjusted pixel clock you may see one or more vertical areas, where the lines are smeared (see Figure 16a): Return to the OSD utility and select the menu command: Manually adjust the number of pixels per line (Pixelclock) from the Image menu.
  • Page 36 CHEETAH V5 MODULES 81-9059-0571-0 REV.B Check your total system configuration. Local units digitize incoming VGA signals and must receive perfect SYNC signals: no glitches, spikes or deformed signals are allowed. Long/wrong or bad cables, or additional components like Splitters or KVM Switches may deform the SYNC signals.
  • Page 37 There is horizontal jitter on the picture. The pixel clock and/or phase is misaligned: Refer to page 34. Characters are smeared. The phase is misaligned: Refer to page 34. Thin vertical lines are missing. The phase is misaligned: Refer to page 34. Colored areas of the screen look like an oil film.

    NOTES B: S PPENDIX YSTEM PGRADE System Update / Onboard Programming It is occasionally necessary to update the firmware of the system. Normally, this procedure is carried out in the factory. If you want to update the firmware yourself, contact Technical Support. You will need a programming cable and software to carry out the update. Please follow the supplied instructions carefully.

  • Page 41: Appendix C: Video Modes And Frame Rates

    ATES The following table shows the video modes supported by the Cheetah V5 modules and the expected frame rates over fiber interconnects or coax interconnects. The Extenders are able to synchronize video modes that do not differ by more than 10% from those listed below.
  • Page 42 Frame Rates (FPS) The Cheetah V5 is not capable of transferring every frame generated by a graphics card because the net data rate of a Single Link DVI-Interface with 3.9Gbit is much higher than the available transfer rate of the Extenders.

  • Page 43: Appendix D: Audio Option

    NOTES D: A PPENDIX UDIO PTION The Audio option consists of daughter boards that allows for stereo audio to be sent across the regular interconnection cable in addition to VGA/DVI video. To set up the extender’s audio, please follow all of the instructions detailed in this appendix. If you have any questions, contact Technical Support.
  • Page 44 NOTES Optional Audio Interface - Set Up and Operation The audio interface is line-level and is designed to take the output from a sound card (or other line-level) source and be connected to a set of powered speakers at the other end of the link.
