Display Settings:
The LinkTheater supports four display modes. Changing the display modes could result in your LinkTheater not operating properly so please make sure you know which modes your TV or monitor supports:
Composite 480i 4x3 – This is the standard mode. It utilized the standard RCA (yellow) video cable or to transmit video data. 480i means the picture is displayed at the resolution 640x480 interlaced.
Component 480p 4x3 – This is identical to the mode above, requiring a TV or monitor with HDMI, D4, or component video, however, this mode uses 640x480 progressive resolution. This is the same resolution that a progressive scan DVD player would use. If your TV or monitor doesn’t support 480p than this mode will NOT work.
Component 720p 16x9 – This mode is the native format for many common HDTVs. It’s broadcast over the HDMI and D4/component video connectors. Most widescreen HDTVs should support this mode. It uses 1280x720 progressive resolution. If your TV or monitor doesn’t support 720p than this mode will NOT work.
Component 1080i 16x9 – This is the best, highest resolution mode available from the LinkTheater. If your TV or monitor can displays 1080i images, then this is the mode to use. The HD image is transmitted over the D4/component and HDMI video connectors. Use of this mode with 720p monitors is not recommended. Even if they can display it, they’d look better in their native 720p. Only use this mode with HD TVs that display 1080i resolution.
Please check with your TV or monitor’s documentation and specifications to determine which mode you should use.
NOTE: The LinkTheater can only transmit D4/component and HDMI video simultaneously. It cannot transmit on D4/component and composite or HDMI and composite simultaneously.
