If the HDBaseT link integrity is
good, then all tests will display as
“Pass”.
•
If any part of the HDBaseT cable
fails, then a numerical value, in
decibels, will be displayed next
to the associated pair, under the
Signal Quality
section.
These values can be reported
to Atlona Technical Support
Engineers to help resolve possible
issues.
