LED Brightness
This selection allows the user to configure the behavior of the Front Panel LED brightness. The ‘Normal’ parameter adjusts the brightness of the Front Panel LED when the menu is being navigated. The ‘Navigate’ parameter adjusts the brightness of the Front Panel LED during normal usage, when the menu is not being navigated.

The supported baud rates are:

The Factory Default option allows you to reset all system settings to their factory defaults.
1- Press either the P or Q button. The FPD displays ‘No’.
2- Press the same button to switch to ‘Yes’.
3- Confirm this selection by pressing the Enter button.
NOTE: Resetting the iScan VP50PRO to the factory defaults will cause all previously saved settings to be lost. Record any important settings before performing this action.

Output Setup
Analog/Digital Output
The iScan VP50PRO can output either an analog or digital video signal. The default setting is for the digital, HDMI, output to be active. To output to a display with an analog input, insure that this setting
is set to ‘Analog (BNC)’
Output Format
The current selected output format will be highlighted in the OSD in red. To select a different out-
put format, highlight it first and then press the U button. Adjustment of advanced timing controls
can also be made here although most displays do not need ‘custom’ timing. The User Mode, in the
Configuration menu, must be changed to ‘Advanced’ for the advanced timing controls to be acces-
sible. For a complete list of the available output presets, see the Complete Menu Tree in Section 5.
Output Aspect Ratio Control
There are five controls for Output Aspect Ratio (OAR):
•Display Aspect Ratio
•Lens Mode
•Screen Aspect Ratio
•Image Shift
•Underscan
The Display Aspect Ratio is the full aspect ratio of the display, normally specified in the display manual. The most common display aspect ratios are 4:3 and 16:9. Less common ones are 5:4, 2.35:1 and others. The example below shows a 4:3 projector with a 16:9 screen.

In this example, the region outside the Active Output area (called the mask) is inactive, and only impor-
tant for creating video timing signals for the display. Input video data is never mapped to this region.
