2.6 How to Use This Guide
This guide describes the installation and configuration of the DVI-D Cat X – Extender Series.
Although the connection and operation of the system is relatively straightforward, you should
consider the following before getting started:

, page 16.
DDC Information
Normally it is not necessary to make any adjustments to the DVXi- Extender. However, in
some circumstances, it may be necessary to redefine the source of DDC Information for the
CPU. By default, the DVI-D Fiber KVM-Extender uses its own internal DDC table. If this
setting does not satisfy your requirements, the DDC table can either be switched to the locally
attached screen or could be downloaded from remotely located screen and stored in the
internal DDC table.
To modify the DDC-Setup, see
Service Setup
(page 26).
Selecting the moment of switching to the next frame
The transmission of screen data in not synchronous to the screen change of the graphic card.
Normally, the transmission is terminated during displaying a frame on the screen. If the
device switches to the new frame during the displaying period of the old frame (somewhere
on the screen), it’s possible, that you can see horizontal screen breaks in the moment of
switching (default). On the other hand the device must idle, until the actual frame is displayed
completely (until VSYNC) -> the number of frames per second transmitted sinks.
To modify the switching behaviour, see
Service Setup
(page 26).
Selection of Color depth
You can select, whether 18Bit colors (=256K colors) are transmitted (default) or 21Bit colors
(=2M colors). Low color depth enhances the count of frames, transmitted per second, high
color depth gives smooth color grades. Please select to you choice the better mode.
To modify the color depth, see
Service Setup
(page 26).
Compatibility
Devices with PS2 connectors are NOT compatible to devices with USB connectors.
