To apply remote user video compensation
1. Ensure.that.the.video.image.from.the.computer.to.be.used.has.been.
correctly.compensated..See. Computer video compensation .for.details..
2. On.the.remote.user.keyboard.(connected.to.an.Adder.X100/X200.extender),.
simultaneously,.press.the.hotkeys.(by.default,. .and. ).along.with. .to.
enter.configuration.mode.
The three keyboard indicators (‘Num Lock’, ‘Caps
Lock’ and ‘Scroll Lock’) will now begin to flash in
sequence. The speed of the sequence indicates the
level of the sharpness adjustment currently applied:
the slower the rate, the lower the level of sharpness
being applied.
3. While.viewing.the.displayed.screen.image,.use.the.following.keys.to.adjust.
the.controls:
Sharpness:. . .for.fine.adjustment,. . .for.coarse.adjustment.
There.are.255.sharpness.levels.(one.coarse.step.jumps.10.levels).
To autoset sharpness:.Press. . . .to.make.the.module.
calculate.and.apply.an.automatic.compensation.level.-.you.can.
use.this.as.a.starting.point.for.your.fine.tuning.
Note: If the monitor goes blank and switches off (due to oversetting
the sharpness adjustment) press the Home key to restore.

Remote user video compensation
Video.compensation.for.each.remote.user.is.provided.by.their.Adder.X100.or.
X200.modules,.not.by.the.AdderView.CATx.unit.itself..Using.the.Adder.X100/
X200.controls.you.can.adjust.the.picture.sharpness.and.brightness.to.improve.
the.remote.picture.quality..
Note: Accurate remote user compensation relies upon visual feedback from
the screen image. It is therefore vital to ensure that the video images being
sent out from the AdderView CATx are as ‘true’ as possible. Ensure, using the
local user port, that the video images received from the computers are correctly
compensated BEFORE attempting to adjust the remote user(s).
Video.compensation.is.best.carried.out.when.viewing.high.contrast.images.with.
vertical.edges,.such.as.black.lines.on.a.white.background..When.doing.so,.if.you.
notice.that.the.screen.image.is.‘fuzzy’.or.‘dark’.then.the.image.controls.may.not.
be.able.to.solve.this.condition..
Note: If the high contrast images exhibit shadows with separate colours, then
there may be a skew problem which requires a different image adjustment
(provided only by Adder X100AS/R and X200AS/R modules) - see the
Remote
user skew adjustment section for details.
To display a suitable high contrast image
The.best.way.to.clearly.view.the.effect.of.sharpness.and.brightness.adjustments.
is.to.display.a.high.contrast.image,.with.vertical.
edges,.on.the.screen..
•. Open.a.word.processor,.type.the.capital.letter.
‘H’,.or.‘M’.and.increase.the.point.size.to.72.
or.higher..For.best.results,.the.background.
should.be.white.and.the.character.should.be.
black..
•. A.BLACK.shadow.on.the.right.of.the.character.
indicates.UNDER.compensation.
•. A.WHITE.shadow.on.the.right.of.the.character.
indicates.OVER.compensation..
Note: The Word processor method is accurate and quick. However, for the very
finest video compensation, use the latest Adder “skew” test pattern program
which shows both the skew pattern and a section of mixed size Hs (black on
white and white on black).
