INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI Super Booster Plus. Your complete
satisfaction is very important to us.
The DVI Super Booster Plus extends the length of any DVI cable by regenerating
the DVI signal before it is output to the DVI monitor or projector. The DVI Super
Booster Plus will clean out the digital noise (sparkles) in your picture. The DVI Super
Booster Plus is connected with a DVI (male to male) cable from the computer DVI
graphic port to the DVI Super Booster input. The DVI Super Booster’s output uses
a second DVI (male to male) cable to go from the output to any DVI display or
projector with a DVI connector. The DVI Super Booster Plus regenerates the video
signal so it must be placed at the end of the cable run, close to the display.

Connect the long DVI cable from the source into the “DVI In” on the front of the
DVI Super Booster. The DVI Super Booster is placed next to your display to
regenerate the DVI cable.
Connect a short DVI cable from the “DVI Out” connection in the back of the DVI
Super Booster to your display or projector
Plug the 5v power supply into the DVI Super Booster.
Plug the 5v wall mount power supply into the wall outlet.
Adjust the trim pot on the front of the unit to tune the signal and eliminate any
video noise.
Note: Instead of manually adjusting the EQ to reduce image noise, the DVI
Super Booster Plus has the ability to do auto equalization. To enable the Auto
EQ, remove the silver sticker on the bottom of the unit to reveal the service dip
switch. By default, the switches should both be in the OFF position. Flip dip
switch 1 to the ON position to enable Auto EQ. If the image is degraded or has
any video noise in this mode, please disable the Auto EQ and adjust the image
manually.

By default, both Dip Switches should be in the off position as shown above. To
enable the Auto EQ, please flip Dip Switch 1 to the ON position. You must then
proceed to manually adjust the EQ by turning the EQ trim pot on the front of the unit
in small increments. It is important to turn the dial in very small increments as the
“sweet spot” at which all video noise is eliminated can be very small.
