8. ms StarTech com vCtrl is used to compensate for cable length and variations This setting can be fine tuned for an optimal trade off between sharpness and noise If there is excessive blurriness and streaking artifacts then it is set too low Increase it gradually until it becomes sharp and free of streaking If it is too high then there will be problems with color patterns and noise appearing due to the high frequency components of the signal Skew is used to compensate for the fact that each pair in a Cat5e cable can have a different length and delay This can cause color skew in fine details like white text on a black background Fine details will also appear to be slightly blurry even if no color skew is visible Adjusting the skew will solve this problem One of the skew values should remain at zero while the others can be raised or lowered by a small amount to converge all 3 color channels If any of the settings are adjusted too far the image may disappear because the signal is out of range Simply auto calibrate again or change the settings back to get the image to reappear Image Quality Also note that most LCD monitors and displays have built in image calibration as well If the monitor is not properly calibrated the analog to digital converter it uses may introduce errors that will be made worse by the long cable To calibrate the monitor look for an auto image adjust setting in it s OSD menu or refer to its use
9. n Serial Data Link The SV565UTPUSA is able to link two RS232 ports together to allow touchscreens monitor control ports and other devices to be used remotely The port s baud rate is detected automatically and supports 300 to 19200 bps with 9600 being the preferred rate If using a baud rate other then 9600 it may take several bytes of data being sent to properly calibrate it By default the first Receiver Unit has control of the serial port but any Receiver Unit can be accessed by using the configuration menu on the Transmitter Unit Automatic Calibration Button and Light SV565UTPUSA is able to automatically calibrate to different cable lengths in order to preserve image quality This allows it to work out of the box without any adjustments Once a good calibration setting is attained it can be set into fixed calibration mode This ensures it uses the same settings if it is reset or powered off The calibration button on the back of the Receiver Unit can be pressed with the tip of a pen The image will display a brief test pattern and the indicator light will flash If it is held for more then half a second it will switch to fixed calibration mode In fixed mode the indicator LED below the button will light up and auto calibration will not occur in this state Press and hold the button again to return to auto calibration mode StarTech com Manual Calibration and Settings Menu A text based menu is available on the serial port of
