Adder Technology X200 Manuale Utente

Using the in-built X200 controls you can adjust the picture sharpness and 
brightness to improve the remote picture quality. 
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. 

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. 

To apply remote user video compensation
Video compensation is controlled by the X200 module and it maintains 
independent compensation settings for each of its two ports.
Note: When used with an AdderView CATx switch, also see the section opposite. 

1 

First select the port that you wish to adjust: On the keyboard that is 
connected to the X200 remote module, simultaneously, press the hotkeys 
(by default, 

 and 

) along along with   for the first port or   for the 

second port.

2 

Now enter video configuration mode: On the same keyboard, 
simultaneously, press the hotkeys along with 

.

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).
Note: If the monitor goes blank and switches off (due to oversetting 
the sharpness adjustment) press the Home key to restore.

Brightness:     for adjustment. There are 255 brightness levels.   

4  When no shadows are visible and the displayed images have crisp edges, 

press 

 to exit configuration mode and permanently save all settings.

  The new compensation settings will be stored, even when power is removed 

or if a complete reset is initiated. These settings should not require further 
changes unless the cabling arrangements are altered.

  Note: To adjust video compensation for the other channel, you must exit 

from configuration mode (as described above), select the other channel (as 
described in step 1) and then re-enter configuration mode (step 2). 

When used with an AdderView CATx switch
The CATx switch will communicate with the X200 module and automatically 
add any further CATx to CAM video compensation (set within the OSd of the 
CATx switch) to compensate for the distance between the CATx switch and the 
final CAM. Important: Ensure that the CATx to CAM compensation has been 
configured before adjusting the X200 video compensation.
