Operation
Operation of the Orion Xtender is very simple and straightforward. In most instances, once installed, no further
configuration is needed. Certain functions are available for further customization, if desired. These functions
are described in this section.
The files needed to configure the Orion Xtender units reside in the data area of the units. To access this area,
connect the service port of the Transmitter or Receiver unit to a computer using a USB mini cable. The data
area of the unit is now accessible as a flash drive "
Extender
".
Transmission Parameters
The Orion Xtender system uses its own unique compression. In usual circumstances, the Transmitter and
Receiver units adapt dynamically to the monitor’s resolution and image content. This configuration is suitable
for almost all conditions.
In cases where the image quality is not satisfactory, there can be dropped frames, loss of single pictures or
color effects. In this situation, the configuration may need to be modified. See the
for
more details.
Command Mode
The Orion X has a Command Mode that allows users to perform several functions through keyboard
commands during normal use.
To enter Command Mode, use a 'Hot Key' sequence, and to exit Command Mode, press <Esc>. While in
Command Mode, the

LEDs on the console keyboard will flash repeatedly.
