Ìíç=fåéìí=`çåÑáÖ | Barco DCS-200 instruction

4. Operation

Using the Setup Menu

When In Auto Acquire is ON, and the input source is digital, the system uses the following search order:

•

Saved configuration files defined in the File Association Menu for each input channel

The user’s library of saved files Direct measurement of the signal

If the input signal’s timing is too different from the saved configuration, a good lock may not be possible. In this situation, the "Invalid Signal" message is displayed, and the video output will be black. You will also see "Invalid Signal" if the configuration file for an input has been deleted.

Note

When you turn In Auto Acquire ON, the DCS-200 automatically turns Auto Input Config and Auto Input Save ON as well. Similarly, if you turn In Auto Acquire OFF, Auto Input Config and Auto Input Save turn OFF as well. If you wish to adjust these fields independently, you can still do so.

Please note the following important points:

•

It is recommended that you leave the In Auto Acquire mode ON. Then, if the timing changes on any input (whether or not you have a saved config file), you will always get an output image. On the other hand, if the mode is OFF and the input timing changes, the output will be black.

When the In Auto Acquire mode is ON, the DCS-200 automatically detects and acquires the input video type and resolution (in most cases), and limits menu selections to those applicable to the detected video type.

If you are an advanced user and you know the exact timing parameters for your input(s), you can turn the In Auto Acquire mode OFF, and dial in your timing parameters manually.

Tip

If you have already saved configuration files for your inputs, it is recommended that you turn the In Auto Acquire mode OFF. This provides the fastest transition times. When the mode is ON, transition times will be greater, due to the time required to analyze the input timing for each source.
