Transmitting video signals over long distances can adversely affect video images.
However, compensation can be used to adjust for video signal degradation.
When the system displays the menu, the cursor flashes on the compensation setting for
camera 1.
To change the compensation (CMP) entry, use the joystick to move to the input (1-16) for which
you want to change the compensation. For example, moving the joystick down positions the
cursor at the entry for camera 2. Press the OPEN key to toggle through the settings. The
settings are numbered 1-4. Setting 1 is for no compensation, setting 2 is for a video input that
is 500 feet (152 m) from the CM9760-MDA, setting 3 is for 1,000 feet (304 m), and setting 4 is
for 1,500 feet (457 m).
