Input Parameters of HDMI Type Input Port
Cable Equalization
The Auto setting means that equalization will be adaptive (depending on the cable length). By default,
automatic equalization is enabled. Automatic mode usually provides perfect transmission, but at longer
distances and higher resolutions manual equalization may be necessary. Manual equalization can be set to
Keep in mind that a previously set manual equalization level may not be suitable for a different system. It is
always advised to use the automatic mode and only adjust the equalization manually if the auto mode does
not give a good result.
INFO: The MX-CPU2 Test input port does not have cable equalization!
Color Range Setting
Some sources may send the video signal with a different color range. If the black or white level seems to be
incorrect in the picture, try to set this parameter to compress or expand the color range. The default setting
is no change, which gives good result in most cases.
