Operating modes

The LongView extenders maximize the data that is transferred between them. The achievable throughput
depends upon the length and quality of the cable links that join the units.
Video signals are most sensitive to link quality and for this reason the extenders have two modes of operation:
low rate mode and high rate mode. The extenders periodically check the link quality and determine which
video transfer mode can be successfully used. The difference between the two modes is considerable as high
rate mode can deliver over twice the video bandwidth. You can also choose which mode to use by using the
Hotkey functions. For more information, see
When the link mode changes, on-screen icons are displayed, while the indicators on the front panels of both
units show which mode is currently being used. If a rate change occurs, the entire data link is reset causing a
momentary loss of the video, audio and USB services.
