DIPSWITCH SETTINGS
Most installations will not require any changes to the dipswitch settings. The factory default and
specialized dipswitch settings are indicated below.
Factory Default Settings:
Dipswitches ON: 1, 3 & 4
Horizontal Position Control: Enabled
Signal Format: RGBHV
Monitor Emulation at Power Up: Enabled
The table below lists the functions of the 6 dipswitches:
DIPSWITCH FUNCTION SETTING

MONITOR EMULATION
The factory default setting for the CIA101 is Monitor Emulation Enabled. If the application
requires a local monitor, make sure that the front panel Monitor Emulation LED is OFF (press
the MONITOR EMULATION Button to toggle between enabled / disabled). If no local monitor
is necessary, make sure the Monitor Emulation LED is ON.
OPTIMAL SETTINGS FOR LCD / DMD / D-ILA / PLASMA DISPLAYS
Output Sync Format
CIA100 Series Interfaces feature advanced sync processing circuitry that offers superb
compatibility with a wide range of display devices. The CIA101 has been designed (and
extensively tested) to provide excellent operation when set for RGBHV, RGBS and RGsB output
signal formats. However, some display devices most readily identify and display VGA-type
signals when they are in the RGBHV signal format. For this reason, users may achieve optimal
compatibility and more consistent results when the interface is set to the factory default output
sync format of RGBHV (see Dipswitch Settings above).
Horizontal Position Control
The CIA101 horizontal position control utilizes a new circuit design that provides excellent image
quality and greatly enhanced compatibility with a variety of data display technologies. However,
in rare cases, instability in parts of the displayed image may still occur (depending on the design
of the display device's sync circuitry). Adjusting the data display’s fine phase or auto phase
adjustment will usually alleviate the problem. If problems persist, users may wish to disable the
CIA101 horizontal position control (see Dipswitch Settings above).
