Hardware Installation

Once the drivers and software for the USB Crash Cart Adapter are installed on the notebook

computer, it can be plugged into the server.

Connect the attached DE-15 VGA cable and the USB type A cable into the desired server. For

DVI-I (analog) computer systems, please use a DVI to VGA adapter (StarTech.com ID: DVIVGAMF).

A USB to PS/2 adapter is included for systems that require a PS/2 connected keyboard (mouse

will not be available).

Instruction Manual 3

LED Indicators

Server KB/Mouse: This lights up when the emulated USB keyboard/mouse is working. It will

blink briey whenever the emulated mouse moves, or emulated key is pressed. Constant ashing

indicates some problem with the USB connection to the server. This can happen if disconnected,

or if the host’s operating system is not enumerating the USB device.

Server VGA: This indicates a valid VGA video signal is being received. It will be o if nothing is

connected (and in some power saving modes) and may ash if an unsupported video mode or

other trouble is seen with the video signal. This light will not turn on, regardless of the video

input status, until the adapter is connected to the application software at least once.

User Console Link/Activity: This lights up when a good connection to the laptop is established.

If ashing, it indicates the USB to the laptop is not connected or being ignored. Blinks briey

when video data is sent to the laptop.

If all the lights are o, then this means the USB Crash Cart Adapter has no power from either

USB connection. Under normal operation, either USB port can provide enough power to

operate the unit. The USB keyboard/mouse emulation is always active, even if the laptop USB is

disconnected.

When used in PS/2 mode, the topmost light indicates correct PS/2 keyboard operation. Power is

received from the PS/2 port as it would be from USB port.

Instruction Manual 4

Using the USB Crash Cart Adapter

Once connected, the real-time video from the attached host computer is shown centered in the

main window.

Zooming

By design, this program will never show scroll bars. The entire video picture is always completely

visible. It is generally scaled down to t into the available space inside the program window. You

can make it larger by resizing the main window. Similarly, if you maximize the main window, the

size of the video image will be maximized.

In the Zoom menu, there are a number of buttons which set the zoom factor and resize the

window to achieve that zoom factor. For example, if the attached server is running at XGA

resolution (1024 x 768), and you select 50% zoom, the main window will be set to a size of

approximately 512 x 384. Please keep in mind that not all zoom factors will be possible; your

notebook’s screen may be too small for the larger percentages. If so, the software will make it as

big as it can.

Since many notebooks have smaller screens, you may wish to run this program maximized. Full-

screen mode is supported, where the window decorations are removed and other applications

are hidden. Click on the full-screen/window icon ( ) on the toolbar or select it from the Zoom

menu.

To get out of full screen mode, click the icon again. If the toolbar is disabled when you enter

full-screen mode, a smaller toolbar is provided with only the Fullscreen and Quit options. This

toolbar oats and may be moved out of your way, but cannot be removed.

Instruction Manual 5

Also in the Zoom menu is an option to center the window on the screen. This can be handy

when it is o the edge of the screen. There is also a shortcut for maximize (toggle). This is the

same as clicking the maximize button in the title bar of the main window.

More Tips

• If the laptop is widescreen (16:10 aspect, or 1280x800, etc), it may be helpful to locate the

toolbar along the left or right vertical edge. This provides more usable screen height, and

if the server’s screen is square (4:3 aspect) the left and right vertical edges would not be

used.

• This program does not enlarge video, only shrink it. Therefore, text mode (720x480 or similar)

will not be enlarged to ll your screen.

• The toolbar is automatically disabled when you select a Zoom factor below 50%. You need to

enable it manually when you return to a larger size.

• Unusable parts of the window are shown in grey. This happens because the video is scaled by

an integer factor of 1/16 and due to other rounding issues.

Toolbar

There is an optional toolbar along the top edge of the window. This toolbar may be hidden,

detached or dragged onto the other three edges of the window. It provides a number of

shortcuts and some status information. All functions are duplicated in the pull down menu, so it

is optional.

You can move and/or detach the toolbar by dragging the handle

( ) on the left/top edge. Once detached, the red X or circle in the upper corners can be used to

close it. When dragging or moving the toolbar, you can stick it (dock) to the top/bottom edge,

if in horizontal mode, or left/right edges if vertical. Some of these features are available in the

Toolbar menu as well.

The right most status area of the toolbar reports some statistics while the system is running.

The rst number is the USB bandwidth, in bits per second. When no motion is detected by our

hardware video compression, no bits are sent. Noisy video cards and ongoing video animations,

will cause a constant stream of USB trac.

The next two numbers (ex. 30Hz and 44fps) report the achieved frame rates for the hardware

and software components respectively. The hardware number (Hz) will range from 1 to 85Hz, but

is typically 30Hz or 60Hz. The software number is limited to 60 fps (frames per second) maximum

and varies depending what other software on your laptop is doing.

Instruction Manual 7

Video Menu

There are three functions available under the Video menu: Auto ne-tune picture, Video Settings

and Save PNG snapshot.

Auto ne-tune picture

Use to automatically adjust the sampling phase of the video. This makes the picture sharper and

reduces USB trac. This is generally not required since this operation is automatically performed

when video is applied. The picture will freeze for about one second while the calibration is

performed.

Settings

Picture Positioning

These four arrows may be used to ne-tune the

position of the video image. These are the same as

the centering controls found on video monitors. Save

your changes with the Save button. The adjusted

values will be used automatically whenever this

same video mode is seen again. The Auto button

will attempt to automatically center the video image

within the program window.

Sampling Phase (Sharpness)

This slider allows you to override the automatic phase

adjustment. Press Auto to perform auto phase again.

The numbers shown under the slider are the phase

(angle) of the control.

Noise Filters

The hardware implements two lters to reduce USB trac and improve picture quality. By

default they are both enabled and set to one. You may override and save customized settings

(which will apply to all video modes).

The rst ‘Noise’ lter helps to remove speckle noise. There is usually no visual eect to this lter,

except that at high values, moving the mouse may leave some pixels behind.

The second‘Flatness’lter converts regions that are nearly all the same colour into exactly the

same colour to aid compression. At higher values, color banding will be much more visible.

Save PNG snapshot

Use this function to record a copy of the window contents and save it into a PNG, JPG or BMP le.

The snapshot happens as soon as the menu item (or toolbar ) is clicked. You are then given

a chance to choose where the image le should be stored. A default lename is provided based

on the current time.

Snapshots are always stored at full resolution and contain the whole screen.
