OPERATING THE DISPLAYPORT BOOSTER
Signal Adjustment
The bottom of the DisplayPort Booster has a bank of DIP switches. These DIP switches are used for course adjustment of the signal, based on the resolution and distance.
Use the EQ trim-pot on the front of the DisplayPort Booster to fine-tune to the signal quality. Use the Arrow Indicator for positioning the EQ setting.
The default DIP switch settings: DIP1 = ON, DIP2 = ON.
