VIDEO PC OK Shrink The shrink command allows you to bring in any edge of the picture thus shrinking the picture either horizontally or vertically The shrink parameters are part of an output configuration The main use of the shrink command is to shrink the picture to fit in the display and when using masking systems Many displays overscan their picture which results in some of the picture being cut off at the edges of the screen For CRT type displays and some digital displays this can be corrected using the OUT RES gt SIZE and POS position commands The SIZE and POS commands shrink the picture by adjusting the display timings Unfortunately many digital displays do not allow the picture to be resized in this manner and that is where the SHRINK command comes in The SHRINK command can achieve the same result when trying to eliminate overscan in digital displays as the SIZE and POS commands and does not alter the display timing The command format is MENU OUT MISC SHRINK OK T L B R OK NOTE When calibrating overscan you should check the picture overscan with Lumagen s overscan test pattern under MISC gt TPAT gt PATS Sync The sync command allows you to set the polarity for the horizontal and vertical sync The command format is MENU OUT MISC SYNC gt OK H V H V H V H V OK Output Mode When set to factory defaults there is a single output configuration
