Adjusting the Video with the DG_HD15 Wizard
Before starting the adjustment procedure:
Install the DG_HD15 Wizard on the Control PC. (We recommend uninstalling any versions
of BoardConfig software prior to v1.4.0 first.)
Connect the Control PC via a null modem cable to the serial port on the Epica DGX 144.
Transfer the test image files from the Control PC to the Source PC.
Determine the resolution and refresh rate of the Source PC (see instructions above).
Adjustment Tips:
Be sure that the source device that is sending the signal to the display monitor (or device)
has a sharp picture before you start.
The Destination Monitor controls may need adjusting during the following procedure.
For some 640x480 displays, selecting an 800x600 resolution from the wizard may work best.
To adjust the video display using the DG_HD15 Wizard:
1.
Route the signal from the Source PC to the Destination Monitor.
