User Presets submenu

From this menu, you can configure the following:

•Auto-Image— Select this option, then press Enter to perform a one-time Auto-Image on the video input (see Auto-Imageon page 35 for more information about this function).

•Input EDID — (DSC HD-3G A only) Select this option to match the input EDID to the output rate or to set a discrete EDID (see the input EDID table on page 24 for EDID data). The default is 720P @ 59.94 Hz.

•Output Resolution — This option lets you set the resolution and refresh rate for the current output. The DSC 3G-HD A has 42 factory installed output resolutions and rates and 3 custom user defined blocks for new resolutions (see the DSC 3G-HD A resolutions table on page 26). The DSC HD-3G A has 30 factory output resolutions and rates (no custom rates) (see the DSC HD-3G A resolutions table on page 28).

•Auto Memory — Select this option to enable or disable Auto Memories. When you select On, the DSC automatically stores the current input configuration and picture control values as an input preset in one of its 32 Auto Memory locations (see Auto Memories on page 38 for more information).

•Aspect Ratio — This option lets you specify how much of the display the image will fill. The sub-options are Fill (fills the entire screen) and Follow (displays with the aspect ratio of the input).

•Input Audio Format — This option enables you to select the format of the audio (if any) that will be embedded in the output (see the audio formats table on page 30 for more information). Selecting None mutes the audio.

•Test Pattern — This option lets you choose a test pattern to aid in setting up the DSC and the corresponding output display. Available patterns are: Off (no test pattern), Crop, Alternating Pixels, Crosshatch, Color Bars, Grayscale, Blue Mode, and Audio Test (displays a crop pattern with OSD text AUDIO TEST and outputs 48 kHz, 24 bit pink noise).

This submenu (shown in figure 16 on the next page) allows you to save positioning and sizing information and picture adjustments as a User preset. You can recall saved presets, easily applying their settings to frequently used sources. Presets can also be overwritten or cleared via this menu. (The User Presets submenu is the same on both DSC models.)

•Up to three user presets per input can be saved or recalled.

•A user preset can be saved with one input resolution and later recalled with another resolution. For example, you could save a preset at 720p and recall it at 1080p.
