Video Settings:
Select Enable VGA Mode if the video input originates with a VGA or other analog source, through an HDMI adapter. In VGA mode, resolution is controlled on the video source device only.
Select the Preferred Video Resolution: Important! The KX IV uses an “EDID” data structure to tell the target server what video resolution is wanted. To change the video resolution on the target server, change the Preferred Video Resolution to the new resolution. This should change the resolution when you connect to the target; if not, you can then also change the resolution on the target server.
Set the Video Interface to HDMI or DVI (no audio).
Set a longer Cycle Time if your target video is not responding properly to changes in preferred video resolution. Default is 200ms. A longer Cycle Time may allow your target to respond accurately to a new preferred video resolution.
Select Enable Video Throttle to cap the client frame rate at half the frame rate of the incoming video. This can be useful to reduce network bandwidth and CPU load on the client.
Audio Settings
If there is no audio, select Audio Compensation to enable it. You must reboot the Dominion KX IV–101 after disabling this function to allow a new audio connection to another target computer.
