Using DIP Switches to Compensate for Video Issues
The rst step in adjusting the video quality is to display text and a graphic on your
monitor (i.e. desktop icons). Then set your computer to the resolution that you will be
using most frequently. Set the DIP (Dual Inline Package) switches to the settings that
are recommended for the different lengths of CAT5 cable (see chart below). Verify that
the picture quality is to your satisfaction. If the recommended setting does not produce
a great quality picture, try using a different DIP switch setting.
The three DIP switch banks affect the primary colors Red, Green and Blue directly and
are thus labelled accordingly. Should you nd a problem with too much or too little or
a certain color present in the output video, begin adjustments in the DIP switch bank
corresponding to the color that is present/absent too much.
The settings shown below are our recommendations for best performance.
0-25 Feet All DIP switches are set to OFF for all colors.
26-100 Feet Set DIP switch #1 ON for all colors. 2,3,4 remain OFF.
101-200 Feet Set DIP switch #2 ON for all colors. 1,3,4 remain OFF.
201-300 Feet Set DIP switch #3 ON for all colors. 1,2,4 remain OFF.
301 Feet and Up Set DIP switch #4 ON for all colors. 1,2,3,remain OFF.
NOTE: A DIP switch is set to the OFF position when the switch is closest to the
number printed immediately below it. The word “ON” will be printed at the top of the
DIP switch bank, usually in the lefthand upper corner.
NOTE: The default position of the DIP switches is that of the 26-100 feet setting
above with DIP Switch #1 ON for all colors and switches 2,3,4 OFF.
