Remote video connection
A Single Link DVI-D port is provided on the rear panel of the remote module. The
bandwidth available at the port is determined by the video input at the local module and
also the mode in which the AdderLink XD150 system is running. When high rate mode
is used, the modules will continually check the link quality to ensure that it is capable of
supporting the higher pixel clock. If excessive data errors are detected, the modules will
fall back to
Long Reach
mode until the local module is reset or the link is broken and re-
established.
AdderLink XD150 can support one Single Link DVI video display at pixel clocks up to
165MHz (equivalent to a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz - aka ‘WUXGA’)
when operating in
High Rate
mode. If the
Long Reach
mode is selected, pixel clocks up to
148.5MHz (equivalent to a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz - aka ‘1080P’)
in order to allow greater separations between the local and remote modules to be
achieved. Please see the section
Mode switch settings
for details.
To connect the video display
1 Connect the DVI-D video cable from your video
display to the video output port on the rear panel
of the remote module.
From your
video display
EDID management
When a remote module is connected and the video display attached to it is detected,
the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) information is cloned and stored at the
local module. Once this is done, a transparent DDC/CI (Display Data Channel/Command
Interface) two way communication link is provided between the video display and the
video source (your host computer). If the remote monitor is removed then the cloned
EDID stored at the local module will still be presented to the video source.
Remote USB connections
The remote module contains a USB hub that can support up to four v1.1 or v2.0 USB
devices (in any combination). All four USB sockets are identical in operation.
To connect USB devices
1 Connect your USB keyboard, mouse and any other
two USB devices to the four sockets distributed on
the front and rear panels of the remote module.
