Using high qualit y DVI or DVI to HDMI conversion cables, the HDVI5 can compensate for cables of up to 65 feet (20 meters), on all its inputs and still reliably receive a stable, spar k le free image at 080p. To tune an HDVI5's input to a specific cable length. . . Press and hold the desired channel until the HDVI5 enters the cable length tuning mode. This example demonstrates entering the cable length setup mode for input '5'. Step 1: Place the HDVI5 into the Cable Length Adj. Mode · · · · · · Press the desired input and hold the button for seconds, until the HDVI5 enters the Cable Length Adj. Use the 'A' and 'A2' buttons to tune cable length. Use the Power Toggle button to exit the setup mode. Step 2: Enter the Cable Length Adj. Mode Step 2: Adjust cable length settings 1 2 3 4 5 SEL A1 A2 Toggle between cable length and bandwidth settings. (Blue = Length, Red = Bandwidth) Decrease Cable Length Increase Cable Length Exit Setup Mode When a cable's tuning is too shor t, the display will begin to spar k le, eventually going blank . For best results, star t long, and use a length a step or t wo above any noticeable ar tifac ts on the screen. Tuning a shor t cable too long increases its susceptibilit y to noise, causing possible drop outs and spar k les. Note: O utput c able lengths depend on the display's receiver's c apabilities, and the qualit y of c abling used. The HDVI5 uses source termination to compensate for all lengths of output c ables, and to help in c ases where the receiver may not have followed the specific ations properly. Each input c an be tuned individually and all settings are saved in non-volatile memor y and are not affec ted by a power failure. HDVI5 Component Video Switch 25 Note: 2 HDVI5 Component Video Switch Step 1: Place the HDVI5 into the Cable Length Tuning Mode Bandwidth & Sync Settings A2 1 2 3 4 5 SEL A1 Press and hold the desired channel until the HDVI5 enters the cable length tuning mode. The HDVI5 is a fully digital switch, unlike many similar produc ts, the HDVI5 decodes the DVI/HDMI signal and re - encodes it on the output. This allows it to cor rec t for many non- compliant devices attached to its inputs, and always generate fully compliant HDMI/DVI data on its output. The following parameters are usually best lef t alone and will have no affec t on a fully compliant DVI/HDMI source, but may be useful when connec ting to a non- compliant source. Bandwidth: This setting allows the HDVI5 to sync to sources with clocks that are unstable and are outside the DVI/HDMI specifications. The larger the bandwidth, the better the HDVI5 can to lock on to non-standard sources at the expense of being more susceptible to noise. S ome PC cards, and older DVD players, may require this value to be set high (6MH z) to wor k reliably. Step 2: Adjust Bandwidth and Sync Settings HSJitter: S ome non- compliant sources can generate hor izontal jitter, causing the screen to jump back and for th hor izontally. Enabling this setting (blue LED is lit) will eliminate this problem on all resolutions where the hor izontal pixel size is evenly divisible by four. 5 SEL A1 A2 1 2 3 4 HSyncandVSync: When set to their default values, these settings have no effec t on the HSync a VSync signals. I f a source and monitor will not wor k with each other, using the HDVI5 and enabling one or both of these settings (blue LEDs are lit) may fix the incompatibilit y. Toggle between Length & Bandwidth Settings. [. . . ] (Note: The HDVI5 does not break out the HDMI audio from the HDMI video. ) Adjustable front panel LED intensities. Eliminate the distraction of glaring LEDs by having the front panel dim after a few seconds of sitting idle. Two dry contact (low voltage) relays are avail able to control whatever might need controlling. Each relay can be controlled using IR, RS-232, or front panel buttons. [. . . ]
