Setting the Video Input Modulation Method

Click the (Video Input/Modulation) icon to display the “Input/Modulation for Video 1” dialog box.

If only the current video source is to be set, select [Video 1’s] in the [Apply detection and settings to] drop-down list. Otherwise, if all video sources are to be set together, select [All Videos’]. Then select the modulation method for the video input: either by manual setting or automatic detection.

Automatic Setting

Clicking the [Start] button initiates testing of the video source to detect the modulation type to be assigned to the selected source.

Select a modulation type from the [Camera 1 input] drop-down list, and click the “Save” icon to save the selection.

zHint

Several different video modulation standards are currently used in different regions. The NTSC video format, generally used in Japan and North America, consists of images composed of 525 lines of resolution displayed at 60 fields per second. The PAL (Phase Alternating Line) video format, which is the common European television standard, consists of images composed of 625 lines displayed at 50 fields per second. The video network station supports NTSC, PAL and several other standards derived from them.
