The video signal usually is transmitted between the computer module and the user module in a compressed way. Due to this compression, the picture on the console monitors are normally displayed lossless and judder free.

Under certain conditions, moving pictures can cause a special tearing effect on the monitors of the remote console. In this case, the monitor image consists of two sub-sequent frames that are partly displayed:

The lower part of the picture shows a part of the old frame, the upper part shows a part of the new frame. At the point where both frames touch, the picture appears to be “torn“.

In this case, deactivate the video compression to display the moving picture without the tearing effect.

How to (de)activate the video compression:

Note: The missing video compression causes a small juddering at the monitor of

the remote console.

Support for multimedia or Sun special keys

Various manufacturers have added special keys to the standard keyboards.

Some keyboards are provided with multimedia keys through which it is possible to comfortably operate special multimedia functions of the computer. For example, the keyboard of the Apple Mac mini is provided with a key to open the DVD drive. Compared to standard keyboards, Sun desktops and servers are provided with sepa-rate keys (Solaris Shortcut Keys) to opesepa-rate special system functions. After the key-board mode for Sun desktops and servers has been activated, the Solaris Shortcut Keys can be used at the workstation. If the workstation only provides a standard keyboard, several key combinations can be applied to emulate the Solaris Shortcut Keys (see page 26).

To be able to use special keys of such keyboards, several USB Keymodes are provided. How to (de)activate the support for multimedia- or Sun special keys:

Changing the scancode set of a PS/2 keyboard

If a key is pressed on the PS/2 keyboard, the keyboard processor sends a data packet that is called scancode. There are two common scancode sets (sets 2 and 3) that con-tain different scancodes.

In the standard configuration the DVIVision system interprets all inputs of a PS/2 keyboard with the scancode set 2.

If the pipe (“|”) cannot be input or if the arrow keys of the keyboard do not function as expected, it is recommended to switch to scancode set 3.

Activating or resetting a PS/2 mouse

Unlike USB mouse devices, PS/2 mouse devices do not support the hot plug tech-nology. You can therefore insert the PS/2 plug during operation but it may be pos-sible that the computer does not detect the input device.

To activate or reset the PS/2 mouse, a special command can be send to the compu-ter through the DVIVision system.

Since the commands differ depending on the used mouse type and the installed ope-rating system, four different setup keys are provided.

Recommendations for the twisted pair cable

The transmission of all signals of the DVIVision system is carried out through one twisted pair cable (category 5e or better).

The data transmission is reliable over a distance of at least 100 metres using a regu-lar standard twisted pair cable (category 5e or better). The distance that can actually be achieved depends on the quality of the used cable. High-quality S-STP cables with an AWG22 wire gauge coding can bridge a distance of up to 140 metres. Patch cables with an AWG26 wire gauge coding can only bridge a maximum of 80 metres.

To ensure reliable operation even in environments with interference, installation cables with at least AWG24 coding have to be used for lengths over 80 metres.

The following cables achieved the best results during test operation:

 up to 140 metres: Kerpen MegaLine G12-150 S/F AWG22

 up to 100 metres: G&D K-C5-HR (see Order numbers on page 45)

 up to 80 metres: Dätwyler Uninet flex 4P, AWG26, S-STP

The connection of several segments using patch panels and connection ports is permitted. However, connections through active network components such as network switches, hubs or repeaters are not permitted.

Wire gauge Cable type Category Recommendation

AWG22 Installation 5e, 6 or 7 up to 140 m

AWG26/27 Patch cable 5e, 6 or 7 up to 80 m Table 2: Recommended cable lengths depending on the wire gauge

The lengths that are mentioned in the table above must be interpreted as the sum of all segments between the devices.

USB and PS/2 signals of the variants -ARU and -U

If you use a variant of DVIVision that supports USB devices, it is necessarily required to connect the USB CPU interface of the computer module (DVIVision-CPU) with the USB interface of the computer. The data of the USB devices are transmitted to the computer through this interface.

The signals of keyboard and mouse are also transmitted through this USB connection. If you prefer to transmit the signals of keyboard and mouse through the PS/2 inter-faces, connect the interfaces Mouse CPU and Keyb. CPU with the PS/2 interfaces of the computer.

Supporting any resolution

In principle, the DVIVision system supports all resolutions that can be transmitted through a single link interface according to the DVI specification 1.0.

This restriction mainly affects the pixel rate, which can reach from 25 MHz to 165 MHz. Therefore, resolutions between 640 x 480 pixels at 60 Hz and 1600 x 1200 pixels at 60 Hz are possible for the common timing standards by VESA DMT and VESA SMT. 1920 x 1200 pixels at 60 Hz is transmitted according to VESA CVT-RB. Almost any refresh rate and resolution within the technical constraints are possible. The available display modes are largely dependent on the graphics card, the gra-phics driver, the operating system and the connected monitor.

The video data that are transmitted from the computer to the computer module (DVIVision-CPU) are transferred to the monitor of the remote console with the same timing. The signal’s frequency and display position at the computer module therefore correspond to those of the graphics output.

Note: While generating the video signal, some graphics cards differentiate

between digital and analog output. Such graphics cards generate digitally output image signals with partly non-standardised timings. Such timings do not comply with the monitor’s default to reduce the frequencies of the digital signals.

Normally, this does not affect the DVIVision system and the digitally con-nected displays. Due to the non-standardised timing, analog monitors might not be able to display the image size and the image position properly.

DDC transmission with cache function

The DVIVision system supports Enhanced-DDC (Enhanced Display Data Channel) to read out the data from the monitor that is connected to the computer module (DVIVision-CON) and transmit them to the computer. This data includes informa-tion regarding the preferred resoluinforma-tion and the supported monitor frequencies. A cache function is integrated in the system so that the computer that is connected to the computer module (DVIVision-CPU) has access to the actual capabilities of the remote monitor already during the boot process. Even if the computer module or the user module are turned off or if the devices are not interconnected, the proper-ties of the most recently connected monitor or a default data block are provided in the DVIVision system.

The DDC information of the monitor are basically transmitted one-to-one. In case, the DVIVision system determines that the display cannot be read without errors or that the entries are invalid, the information are completed or corrected.

Installation guidelines

Installing the G&D Power Card into the computer

At first, install the G&D Power Card into the computer:

1. Take the manual of the computer and of the motherboard that is installed within the computer.

2. Open the casing of the computer to gain access to the expansion slots.

3. Assemble the G&D Power Card of the expansion DVI-Power to a free expansion slot of the computer.

Connecting the signal lines to the slot card

In the following, the signal lines ATX-Power and Reset of the motherboard are connected to the pin bar of the G&D Power Card (see figure). A further connection at the computer casing guarantees the use of these buttons.

Pwr-Sw: Connect the ATX-Power button cable of the

computer casing to these pins. In case the connection cable is not long enough, it can be extended with one of the extension cables.

Pwr-MB: Connect the pins you have written down before with the plug position of the ATX-Power button on the motherboard. Use one of the supplied connection cables for this purpose.

Res-Sw: Connect the Reset button cable of the computer casing to these pins. In case the connection cable is not long enough, it can be extended with one of the extension cables. Res-MB: Connect the pins you have written down before with the plug position of the Reset button on the motherboard. Use one of the the supplied connection cables for this purpose.

The G&D Power Card requires no slot at the motherboard of the computer. The installation only serves as assembly position for the ATX module at the back panel of the computer.

Write down the plug positions of the cables, which are leading from the ATX-Power button and the Reset but-ton of the casing to the motherboard. Afterwards,

dis-connect the cables. Res-MB
