Using the LitePro

Text Mode and Pixel Slice

Some IBM-compatible computer display modes generate a 720 pixel- wide image which extends beyond the LitePro’s 640 pixel-wide image area. For most computers, the LitePro automatically enables Text Mode, compressing the display to fit. But if you are displaying text that appears to be truncated on the right side, you may need to manually enable Text Mode.

When you enable Text Mode, the LitePro compresses the image by removing every 9th column of pixels; this is referred to as “pixel slice”. There are 9 pixel slice settings. Choose the one that results in the most acceptable display.

To enable Text Mode:

1.Press the menu button to display Menu 1.

2.Use the right or left arrow buttons to highlight “Menu 2”.

3.Press select/enter to display Menu 2.

4.Use the right or left arrow buttons to highlight “Text Mode”.

5.Press select/enter to enable Text Mode (an “x” appears in the box).

6.If you want to change the Pixel Slice setting, use the right or left arrow buttons to highlight “Pixel Slice”. Press select/enter to cycle through the settings until you find the one that results in the best image.

Video Type

Television video signal standards vary throughout the world. The LitePro can adapt to the three most common standards: NTSC, PAL and SECAM.

NTSC is used in North America and parts of South America.

PAL is used in Europe, Australia, China and parts of South America and Africa.

SECAM is used in France, some parts of Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

If you don’t know which standard is used in your area, select the one that provides the best image. The default setting is NTSC.
