4.4 Sync 

Settings 

 
The DVI-TX is factory-configured for auto-detecting the proper sync-mode (RepliSync-I normal/stretched).  This 
mode is generally compatible with all existing MultiView™ receiver products that support RepliSync (if they are 
also using their factory-default settings).  However, some video sources may require a custom sync-mode setting 
(most especially at 1080p and 1920x1200 video resolutions).  For these cases, one of the other available sync-
modes can be selected.  
 
Note that any connected MultiView™ receiver should generally be set to the same sync-mode and may require 
other configuration adjustments (such as sync-polarity). Otherwise, you may not get a proper video display 
output at that receiver, or none at all. 
 
Perform the procedure below while the transmitter is in the normal operating state (

CFG indicator is off):

  

 

Press and release the 

CFG

 button once to access configuration-mode (

CFG indicator = on

). 

 

Press and release the 

SEL

 button 

once

.  You will now be able to change sync-mode settings. 

 

LED indicators 1-3 should be illuminated (either DIM or ON); all others (indicators 4-8) should be off.

 

 Press 

the 

CFG 

button repeatedly to step through the available sync-mode settings as shown below. 

 

To leave configuration-mode step through all the options OR leave the buttons untouched for 10 seconds.

The DVI-TX will auto-detect the required RepliSync-I 
mode (“normal” or “stretched”). 

This is the factory-

default setting.

NOTE

: A connected MultiView 

receiver must also be in fixed-sync mode and with H/V 
polarities selected at the receiver.
