This page applies a standard global conguration to all transmitters.
Magic Eye
Determines whether the Magic Eye feature should be enabled on ALIF (1002T, 2002T,
2020T or 2112T models only) transmitters. Magic Eye works to overcome the issues
with increased bandwidth usage caused by ‘dithering’ techniques used on some
computers, such as Apple Macs. See the ALIF dual user guide for more details.
DDC
Determines whether video conguration details should be harvested from connected
display screens or a static xed EDID report should be used. Care must be taken when
selecting a Dual Link Video resolution as only ALIF dual units support a Dual Link Video
resolutions. In the case of a Dual Link EDID being set in the Global settings, no EDID will
be set on Video port 2 of the ALIF dual transmitters.
EDID optimisation
When this option is ticked, the Transmitters will compare the native resolution settings
of their monitors when switching. If the monitor has the same native resolution as the
previous one, the new EDID is not sent to the graphics card. This speeds up switching
as the graphics card does not have to go through a hotplug detect routine when a new
receiver is switched to that channel. If the new receiver has a monitor with a different
native resolution, then the EDID will be updated to allow for a change in video mode.
Hot Plug Detect Control
Determines whether to enable hot plug detection for monitors. By default this is enabled.
Hot Plug Detect Signal Period
By default this is set at 100ms, which is sufcient for most graphics cards. Occasionally it
may be necessary to adjust this. An Adder FAE will advise if necessary.
Background Refresh
The number of frames between sending an entire frame of video data. Setting this to a
longer period or disabling this will reduce the bandwidth required.
Compression Level
The newer AFZ+ codec compliments the existing AFZ codec by providing greater
compression for increased speed where pixel perfect results are not the primary
focus. The transmitter video conguration page allows you to choose the required
compression mode. Choices are:
• ‘Pixel perfect’ - only uses pixel perfect AFZ,
• ‘Adaptive’ - guarantees frame rate, builds to pixel perfect,
• ‘Smoothest video’ - forces the maximum compression, or
• ‘Advanced’ - allows you to choose the mode:
1 ‘AFZ only (pixel perfect),
2 ‘AFZ+ Minimum compression’,
3 ‘AFZ+ Middle compression’, or
4 ‘AFZ+ Maximum compression’.
USB Speed
Select Low/full speed or High speed USB operation.
USB Hub Size
Select either a 13 or 7 port USB hub. This determines the number of USB devices that
can be connected to a single Transmitter.
Note: It is not possible to reserve USB ports on the transmitter when used with A.I.M.
Enable Dummy Boot Keyboard
It is often necessary to have a keyboard reported at start up. This setting means that a
“Virtual Keyboard” is always reported to the USB host. It may be necessary to disable
this for use with some KVM switches.
Reserved USB ports
This setting lets you set aside a specic number of USB ports (up to 8) on the
transmitter that can be made available for certain USB devices which require a quirk
setting under advanced USB features, connected to a receiver.
Note: This setting can only be applied globally it is not found with individual transmitter
congurations because all receivers need to know how many USB ports are available for the
advanced USB features.
Serial port options
These allow you to match the serial conguration being used by the attached PC host.
