video at 1.45 volts p-p.

Select a level setting of 0.7 volts or above to compensate for the decrease in signal level that

occurs when the signal passes through long cables. Set the level at the maximum setting

for cable lengths over 500 feet for all computer signals of 15 kHz to 135 kHz.

2. Peaking control — The Video Output Peaking control affects the sharpness of a picture.

Increased peaking can compensate for detail (mid- and high-frequency) loss from low

bandwidth system components or capacitance in long cables.

Adjust this control while viewing the displayed image to obtain

the optimum picture sharpness.

Operation

Turn on the input devices (computer, audio device) and output device(s) (projector,

monitors, speakers). After powering up the RGB 580xi, the image should now appear on the

screen, and sound should be audible. If you are experiencing problems, please refer to the

“Troubleshooting” section of the user’s manual.
