NOTES
Frame Rates (FPS)
The Cheetah V5 is not capable of transferring every frame generated by a graphics card because the net data rate of a Single Link DVI-Interface with
3.9Gbit is much higher than the available transfer rate of the Extenders.
Transmission follows the following scheme:
•
Starting with a recognized VS-Signal, the first frame is digitized (on VGA) and temporarily stored (DVI+VGA) by the Local unit.
•
The data are transmitted, using the available net data rate, to the Remote unit. During this time, frames generated by the graphic card are discarded
without any recognition (frame dropping).
•
When data transfer is complete, the Extender system waits for the next VS-Signal.
Depending on the data volume (affected by the selected screen resolution/refresh rate), the type of transmission module and the correspondence between
the duration of the data transfer and a multiple of the refresh rate, you should get frame rates in a range of approximately 15 fps up to the actual refresh
rate of the graphic card.
The frame rate counts the number of different pictures that are displayed in one second. The monitor is always driven with the
same refresh rate as generated by the graphics card or selected in the OSD.
The human eye is not able to discern more than 15 fps as single pictures. Your Cheetah V5 modules are therefore suitable for displaying streaming video
in the highest resolution. To gain a higher frame rate, reduce the screen resolution - video normally does not require higher resolutions.
