Troubleshooting

If you experience problems when installing or using the X-DVI modules, please 
check through this section for a possible solution. If your problem is not 
listed here and you cannot resolve the issue, then please refer to the ‘Getting 
assistance’ section.

No video image is displayed on the remote monitor

•  Check the yellow indicators on the local and remote modules while no keys 

are pressed on the keyboard and no mouse movements are being made - 
both indicators should be continually on when a valid video signal is present.

  LOCAL: If the yellow indicator is giving a regular flash (twice per second), 

then the video feed to the local module is not valid. Try connecting a DVI 
monitor (preferably using the same DVI link cable as used with the local 
module) directly to the computer and check for a correct image.

  REMOTE: If the yellow indicator is giving a regular flash (twice per second), 

then the video feed via the link cable is not valid. If the link cable is long, try 
using a short link cable temporarily to check for basic operation. 

  If the yellow indicators are off, then the link cable is not properly connected.
•  Once you have verified that a valid video signal is present at the remote 

module, try adjusting the video compensation setting. See 

Video image 

compensation

 for details.

The video image is showing some small flickering of the pixels

•  The combination of cable length and screen resolution may be causing data 

errors that the video monitor cannot currently resolve. Try adjusting the 
video compensation setting. See 

Video image compensation

 for details.
