N

Since this product differs from the standard MTP

receiver by its ability to auto detect the video format

received, based on the video signal quality, it requires

a reasonable adjusted signal for both level and peaking.

There is some margin for over peaking, but if too much

over peaking occurs the signal may not be recognized due

to signal loss.

Skew Delay Compensation

CAT 5/5e/6 TP cable can lead to registration errors between the

red, green, and blue video signals. Pair skew can be measured

with test equipment or identified by viewing a crosshatch test

pattern with a critical eye to determine if either the red, green,

or blue video image leads (appears to the left of) the other two

video images.

N

Unless the TP cable is changed, the skew adjustment

should only need to be made once, during installation.

SEQ receiver skew compensation

The SEQ receivers have built-in skew compensation capabilities.

Adjust the equalization as follows:
1

.

Zero the skew delay

for red, green, and blue as follows:

a

. Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and

hold

the Select button for 3 seconds. The Red, Green,

and Blue LEDS all go out.

b

. Release the Select button.

2

.

Use UTP cable test equipment or examine the displayed

video image with a critical eye to determine which video

signal

, red, green, or blue, is shifted furthest to the right.

N

A crosshatch test pattern or a black background with

vertical white lines is ideal for determining skew.

3

.

Adjust the furthest left video signal

as follows:

N

The SEQ receiver cannot shift the furthest right video

image to the left.

a

. Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press

and release the Select button until the LED for the left-

shifted color; Red, Green, or Blue; lights.

b

. Slowly rotate the Adjust control clockwise while
