DVI CAT5 4X EXTENDER CONFIGURATION
The DVI CAT5 4X Extender and DVI CAT5 MSR receivers have built-in auto
equalization that will automatically tune out any unwanted video noise. This
feature is reliable with premium cable runs up to a maximum of 130 feet. It may
be necessary to disable this feature if there is either no video being displayed on
initial start-up, there is video noise in the image, or the cable run exceeds 130
feet. First, verify that all the proper connections have been made and that all
devices are powered on before attempting to disable auto equalization. Please
follow the section on the next page to manually equalize the video signal.
