10. Tie the local input receiving the test pattern signal to the output to be
optimized.
11. Use the test equipment or examine the displayed video image with a critical
eye to determine which video signal — red, green, or blue — is most shifted
to the left.
12. Adjust the leftmost video signal to the right until all three colors are
converged.

If the cable between the MTPX Plus and the receiver is > 300', turn the MTPX Plus’s
Pre-Peak feature on. For shorter cables, turn the feature off.
MTP Receiver level/peaking setting
If level/peaking is available on the connected receiver(s), adjust it as follows:
1. If using an oscilloscope, apply a white field test pattern to one the local
(VGA) inputs on the MTPX Plus (figure 5-21).
If using a monitor, apply a Color Bars test pattern to one the local (VGA)
inputs on the MTPX Plus.

2. Tie the local input receiving the test pattern signal to the output connected to
the MTP receiver to be optimized.

3. Connect an oscilloscope or monitor to the output of the MTP receiver.
4. Adjust the receiver’s level/peaking in accordance with the applicable MTP
product manual.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each receiver to be optimized.
