Adjust Brightness The brightness of the extended image can be increased or decreased by pressing the Up Arrow or Down Arrow gt respectively while in Command Mode This adjustment is in addition to any adjustments made possible by controls on your monitor Automatic Video Quality Adjustment Video quality is broken down into general video quality for brightness and sharpness of the images and color skew for how the colors align with each other on the monitor Both general video quality and color skew adjustments are done automatically any time the XTENDEX is powered ON or if the CATx cable is disconnected and then reconnected These adjustments can also be forced by pressing the A key while in Command Mode The automatic video adjustments are calibrated for unshielded twisted pair cable For shielded cable fine adjustment may be necessary and this can be done from keyboard keys using Command Mode Video Quality Adjustment settings are automatically stored in the XTENDEX Settings will be restored each time the XTENDEX is powered ON Test patterns for color skew adjustment are provided on the CD Note If the cable is changed after making manual video adjustments the XTENDEX will restore these settings to factory default and fine adjustments with the new cable may be necessary 10 Fine Video Quality Adjustment General Video Quality Adjustment Command Mode opens into General Video Quality Adjustment mode To fi
