Video support
AdderLink XD522 works hard to transfer the highest possible video bandwi\
dth
between the transmitter and receiver units. To allow for the differing g\
rades
of CATx links used to join the transmitter and receiver, AdderLink XD522\
periodically checks the quality of link A (the primary cable joining th\
e transmitter
and receiver). In this way it can accurately determine which of two vid\

modes can be...](http://img.usermanuals.tech/thumb/176/2309/w300_adderlink-xd522-displayport-extender-quick-start-1478558041_d-3.png "Page 4

Tips for achieving good quality links
Due to the large volumes of data that must be transferred between the
transmitter and receiver, every AdderLink XD522 installation is highly d\
ependent
upon good quality CATx cable links. Video performance is particularly reliant on
high speed communication channels. For this reason, the AdderLink XD522 \
units
periodically test the link quality to determine which of two video trans\
fer modes
can...](http://img.usermanuals.tech/thumb/176/2309/w300_adderlink-xd522-displayport-extender-quick-start-1478558041_d-5.png "Page 6
