Advanced Video Settings
This option contains video signal settings that do not normally need to be 
adjusted.   
Pixel Format
Determines the colour 
depth and data 
required to represent 
each video pixel.   
Tile Width and Height 
Determines the size of the 
sample areas into which 
the source video screen is 
divided for examination 
purposes. Smaller sizes 
result in more areas to 
sample, larger areas 
result in more frequent 
screen area refreshes.16 
is considered to be the 
optimum size for both the 
width and height settings.
YUV / RGB
Determines the colour 
space used by the unit.
Custom Video Modes
This option allows you to define non-standard video resolutions and refresh rates 
to suit your display characteristics. 
Enter the horizontal and vertical pixels counts together with the refresh rate and, 
optionally the Reduced Blanking option (see below), then click the Calc button. 
Then click the Add button to include the new mode within the list. If you 
calculate the setting for a mode that has too high a resolution to be displayed 
full width, this dialog will calculate the values for a half-width version instead.
Show All Users
Select this option to display a list of all users who are currently logged into the 
AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit together with the host computer (and port) that 
they are currently viewing.
Reduced Blanking
The Reduced Blanking 
option can be enabled when 
using flat panel display 
monitors and helps to save 
bandwidth without any loss 
of performance. The blanking 
period is present in all standard 
video signals and is a small 
time delay to allow the beam 
of cathode ray tube displays 
to return to the top left corner 
of the screen. As flat panel 
displays do not have a beam, 
the blanking period can be 
removed.
Timing Details 
Click this button to display 
information that is useful

problems.
