Operation

•Side Bar Color: This controls the color of the inactive image area. The range is from -100 (black) to 100 (white).

The inactive image area is on either side of the active image area when using the Standard 4:3 aspect ratio, and above and below the active image area when using the Letterbox aspect ratio.

•Film Mode: Enable Film Mode to smooth out moving images from interlaced, standard-definition (SD) sources. In most cases, the DHD Controller detects the proper “pull-down” rate and vertical frequency. However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing you may wish to enable Film Mode to ensure stable processing for that source.

Resolution: When using the VX-44d/-55d with a computer or certain HD sources, you may want to force the DHD Controller to use a specific output resolution. If so, select Resolution from the Service menu and choose one. Then, press ENTER to confirm.

System Reset: To reset ALL projector and controller settings (including image settings) back to their factory defaults, choose System Reset from the Service menu.

A confirmation message appears, reminding you to save your settings before you perform the reset, so that you can restore them afterwards. If you have done this, select Confirm to continue with the reset. Otherwise, click Back to cancel.

This action is not undoable. Proceed with caution! Before you Caution perform a System Reset, save ALL settings, including “Custom” ISF

Presets (page 71), ISF Day/Night presets (page 73), Output Shift settings (page 73), Input Names (page 74) and Trigger settings (page 76).

Restore Saved Settings: Following a System Reset, select Restore Saved Settings to apply all previously-saved settings to the projector and DHD Controller.
