Peak(ing) control — The Peaking control affects the sharpness of
the picture on the RGB output. Increased peaking can
compensate for detail (mid- and high-frequency) loss from low
bandwidth system components or capacitance in long cables. The
minimum setting (at the counterclockwise limit) provides no
peaking. The maximum setting (at the clockwise limit) provides
100% peaking. Adjust this control while viewing the displayed
image to obtain the optimum picture sharpness.
Peaking has no affect on the DVI output of the Buffered Loop-
through connector.
Operation
After the DVI-RGB 100 and its connected devices are powered up, the
system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, verify that
the cables are routed and connected properly.
The computer reads the DDC on power up to determine the direct
digital video resolution and refresh rate to output. Ensure that
the local DVI monitor and the RGBHV monitor can both display
the selected resolution and refresh rate, otherwise images may be
distorted or missing.
Ensure that the computer and local DVI monitor are connected to
the DVI-RGB 100, and the DVI-RGB 100 and local monitor have
power applied, before applying power to the computer. If the other
devices are not turned on before the computer is, the image will
not appear.

DVI/DFP signals run at a very high frequency and are especially prone
to bad video connections, too many adapters, or excessive cable length.
To avoid the loss of an image or jitter, follow these guidelines:
• Do not exceed 16.4 feet (5 meters) on the input or buffered loop-
through of the converter.
The missing connectors on the included DVI cable are not
required for the single link of DVI-D data supported by the
DVI-RGB 100. These pins are grayed out on the following table.

• Use only the cable designed for DVI signals supplied by Extron.
• Limit or avoid the use of adapters.
• Use only approved DVI/DFP connectors.
CAUTION
Use only cables specifically intended for DVI or DFP
interfaces. Use of non-DVI or non-DFP cables or modified
cables can cause the DVI-RGB 100 to fail.
