Auto Equalization & Boost Setting
Auto equalization is enabled by default. This setting will compensate for variances 
in cable skew and will help eliminate the video noise that is associated with it. This 
feature will work reliably up to 130ft. Longer CAT-5e runs should have this feature 
disabled. It is important to understand that the Boost Setting and Equalization are 
used in conjunction with each other. The Auto-EQ feature will only function when the 
unit has no boost applied. 
To manually equalize the video signal, turn Dip Switch 1 to the ON position. This will 
disable the auto equalization function and will allow the user to manually equalize the 
signal. From here, the Boost Settings and Equalization can be manipulated to tune-in 
an optimal video signal. Once Auto-EQ has been disabled, follow the steps on the 
next page.
