Adjusting Video Settings

Use the Video Settings command to manually adjust the video settings.

• To change the video settings:

1. Choose Video > Video Settings to open the Video Settings dialog.
2. Adjust the following settings as required. As you adjust the settings the effects are immediately visible:
   1. PLL Settings

      Clock - Controls how quickly video pixels are displayed across the video screen. Changes made to clock settings cause the video image to stretch or shrink horizontally. Odd number settings are recommended. Under most circumstances, this setting should not be changed because the autodetect is usually quite accurate.

      Phase - Phase values range from 0 to 31 and will wrap around. Stop at the phase value that produces the best video image for the active target server.

   2. Brightness: Use this setting to adjust the brightness of the target server display.
   3. Brightness Red - Controls the brightness of the target server display for the red signal.
   4. Brightness Green - Controls the brightness of the green signal.
   5. Brightness Blue - Controls the brightness of the blue signal.
   6. Contrast Red - Controls the red signal contrast.
   7. Contrast Green - Controls the green signal.
   8. Contrast Blue - Controls the blue signal.

      If the video image looks extremely blurry or unfocused, the settings for clock and phase can be adjusted until a better image appears on the active target server.

      Warning: Exercise caution when changing the Clock and Phase settings. Doing so may result in lost or distorted video and you may not be able to return to the previous state. Contact Raritan Technical Support before making any changes.

   9. Horizontal Offset - Controls the horizontal positioning of the target server display on your monitor.
   10. Vertical Offset - Controls the vertical positioning of the target server display on your monitor.
3. Select Automatic Color Calibration to enable this feature.
4. Select the video sensing mode:
   • Best possible video mode

     The device will perform the full Auto Sense process when switching targets or target resolutions. Selecting this option calibrates the video for the best image quality.

   • Quick sense video mode

     With this option, the device will use a quick video Auto Sense in order to show the target's video sooner. This option is especially useful for entering a target server's BIOS configuration right after a reboot.

5. Click OK to apply the settings and close the dialog. Click Apply to apply the settings without closing the dialog.

Note: Some Sun background screens, such as screens with very dark borders, may not center precisely on certain Sun servers. Use a different background or place a lighter colored icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
