Optimizing the Video Display on the Remote Console 

 

To achieve an optimized display output on the remote console (i.e. the K5LC) will require you to 
conscientiously adjust the various video parameters such as Brightness, Sharpness, Red Delay and Green 
Delay in an optimized combination that could most satisfy your visual requirements.  
 
Please follow the procedure below to achieve an optimized display output on your remote console screen (on 
K5LC): 
 

I. Run the Screen Test program 

To facilitate the video adjustment, we provide ScreenTest.exe, a program to serve as a visual reference for 
easier adjustment.  ScreenTest.exe runs on Windows OS. On other OS, use a simple text page. 
 
Find ScreenTest.exe in your Support CDROM. Either you can copy it to your desktop or you can run it 
directly from the CDROM. ScreenTest.exe displays a full screen image as below: 

 

 

 

II. Adjust Brightness and Sharpness  

Open the OSD Video page. Brightness and Sharpness adjustments depend on the cable length. With cables 
below 20 meters, there is almost no need for any adjustment. The longer is the cable, the more you will have 
to increase Brightness to compensate for the attenuation and Sharpness to compensate for the bandwidth 
decreasing. 
After you have adjusted Brightness and Sharpness to achieve a passable situation, you can temporarily leave 
them there and try to work on Red Delay and Green Delay so that you can see a cleaner picture for further 
fine-tuning. Maybe be you will have to come back to Brightness and Sharpness after that.
