HOW TO ADJUST THE PICTURE The first step in adjusting the video quality is to display text and a graphic on your monitor (i.e. desktop icons). Then set your source to the resolution that you will be using most frequently. The dip switches are used to set the focus and sharpness of the picture to the best possible setting. Set the dip switches to the settings that are recommended for the different lengths of CAT5 cable (see chart below). Verify that the picture quality is to your satisfaction.
