3QuadScan Control Functions

All of the powerful features of the QuadScan that can be controlled through by its three methods of control described in section 4: front panel control, RS-232/422 and IR remote control. All methods are interchangeable and simultaneously active (i. e. a front panel button push can be followed by an IR remote control command).

Not all controllable items are accessible by the IR remote mouse. This provision is deliberately intended to prevent the user of an IR remote mouse from accidentally changing the resolution to an unsupported resolution, (an causing the display to “disappear”), etc.

Component Level (BetaCam, SMPTE)
