OPTION 6 1 Computer amp Video inputs The PC HD input can accept Analog RGBHV RGsB sync on green RGBS separate sync at TTL levels YUV YPbPr including tri level In most cases the particular input being used will be auto detected See Adjust sources for more information on manually selecting an input type On some units such as Video Scalers the PC HD input is there just to loop the PC image through to the PC monitor in bypass mode The YUV YPbPr component input can also be switched to RGsB sync on green mode if desired see Adjust sources for more information on manually selecting an input type CV and YC inputs can accept either standard NTSC or PAL inputs for example from a video camera VCR DVD player gaming device etc PAL and NTSC detection is automatic 6 2 Computer amp Video outputs The PC HD and RGBHV outputs can use Analog RGBHV RGsB sync on green 19 RGBS separate sync at TTL levels YUV YPbPr including tri level However please note that on some units such as Down Converters the RGB output is there just to loop the PC image through to the PC monitor On Video Scalers bypass mode with the unit in Standby will feed PC HD in to PC HD out directly YUV YPbPr component outputs can also be switched to RGsB sync on green mode if desired see Adjust outputs for more information CV and YC outputs always fu
2. If you have a very unstable input such as a video tape player with a poor jumping output signal you may wish to turn the setting to Show Source RGB1 De int M comp med An interlaced input consists of two fields separated in time Both fields are required in order to make up the full resolution input image but since they are sent one after the other a moving image will have motion artifacts if the two fields are simply combined together The most common artifact is a blurring at the point of maximum movement within an image Your unit provides some tools to minimize the effects of de interlacing of an image The following options are available for this menu item 39 Mode Function Normal weave The two interlaced fields are simply combined weaved together This will often show artifacts on moving images but can be used when the input is known to be still Auto Automatically selects Film 3 2 or Medium Range Motion Compensation M Comp Med depending on whether Film Mode is detected or not Film 3 2 Enables 3 2 pull down conversion of the incoming NTSC video This option should not be used if the source is not NTSC video M Comp Low Enables Pixel Adaptive Motion Compensation Three levels M Comp Med are available with Low providing the least compensation M Comp High for Motion and High providing the most compensation Frame bob The two fie

If we look at a line when anti aliased we can see that no longer is the leg made of solid pixels but of varying shades this will cause an increase in complexity and reduction in compression So how large can the source logo image be The size of the original image is a minor factor the most important factor is the complexity and amount of anti aliasing that is present 12 6 Resolution Editor On some units it is possible to modify the resolutions that can be output and input where this is available a Resolutions tab will be shown on the main screen This tab will show the resolution database editor and creation tool z Resolution Scaler menu values f Horizontal Vertical Frame rate Tile 8 X Hz Interlaced E Constrain aspect rabo HFreq C Custom fe None Elk Line a A Linex Field i 7 3 Synchronizabon Ars 68 HY active HY start e Interlaced HV sync Sync polarity Calculation standard Vesa CVT Vesa GTF Create Name Flags HWwidth Height HFreq HTotal VTotal Hsync WSync HPos WPos Misc je gt NTSC 7 60Hz CI 720 487 15734 858 525 64 6 62 22 NN PAL 50Hz cl 720 576 15625 864 625 64 5 72 33 NN 640 x 350 70Hz R 640 350 31469 800 449 96 2 48 60 PN 640 x 350 85Hz R 640 350 37861 832 445 64 3 96 60 PN 640 x 400 85Hz R 640 400 37861 832 445 64 3 96 41 NP vl Figure 14 Resolution editor 97 There are 2 ways to create a resolution using this tool The easiest shown on the New resolution t
