Be sure the source is outputting a resolution that is less than or equal to the maximums listed in
the Introduction, or refer to the formula in the Appendix to see if it can be transported.
There is an USB LED which indicates USB activity whenever a PC is connected to the unit
via the front panel USB connector, either for control via a GUI or to perform a firmware update.
There is a TXDATA LED to indicate forward RS 232/42x data activity, and if BDD is fitted,
a RXDATA LED to indicate return path data activity.
FTX FRONT PANEL SWITCH FUNCTIONS: Refer to Fig. 2. There are 7 switches labeled A thru
G. The functions are as follows:
Switch A is used to assign priority between a DVI source and a RGB source if both are
present at the input simultaneously. When up, it defaults to DVI, when down, RGB. If only one
input type is present, it defaults to that type regardless of the switch setting.
Switch B this switch is used to select the 3G SMPTE option when down and the 3.75G
transport options when up. If the optional cable connection is used, 3G mode should be used.
Switch C is set to gather EDID information either from a monitor connected to the
DVI/RGB LOOP OUT port, or from an internal prom that has stored in it a list of generic monitor
types. If the bi-directional data option is fitted, the EDID information can be extracted from the
monitor connected to the FRX (remote EDID mode), and written to the PROM. (Caution: enabling
this mode will overwrite the factory defaults stored there). For best results, the loopthru monitor
should be of the same type as that connected to the FRX as it is not possible for the source to
output a signal that will be optimal for 2 different types of monitor at once. When there is no
monitor connected to the loopthru, the prom or remote mode MUST be used, or the source will
not output video at all. Switch C selects PROM/REMOTE mode EDID when up, LOCAL loopthru
mode when down. (PROM vs. REMOTE is selected by a switch on the FRX).
Switch D attenuates the audio input by 12 db when down. Use for high level audio input.
Switches E, F, and G control the data protocols and termination. When switch E is down
and switch F is up, RS4xx operation is selected. When E is up and F is down, RS232 is selected.
Other combinations of E and F are not valid. Switch G when down places a 100 ohm termination
across the data inputs for RS4xx operation.
Analog Picture Controls. The GUI provides controls to make adjustments to horizontal
and vertical picture position, as well as the sampling phase,for analog RGB and RGBHV inputs.
