Setting(s)

 

 

 

Source

The source of the video signal.

Analog, DVI, SDI, Component, Com-

 

 

posite, S-Video

 

 

 

Colorspace

The range of colors for the type of input. Generally computer

RGB, YPbPr

 

inputs use RGB and video sources use YPbPr.

 

 

 

 

Video Standard

The three major signal standards have different timing, hori-

NTSC, PAL, SECAM

 

zontal and vertical frequency requirements. This is shown

 

 

only on video sources (Composite, S-Video, Component)

 

 

 

 

Sync Type

Determines which portion of the signal that carries the syn-

Vertical Frequency

The number of vertical fields per second (in Hz)

 

 

 

 

Horizontal Frequency

The number of horizontal lines per second (in kilohertz)

 

 

 

 

Pixel Frequency

The number of pixels per second (in megahertz)

 

 

 

 

Horizontal Resolution

The number of vertical lines or pixels from one side of an

and vertical frequency of the signal. If

 

 

the incoming signal does not conform

 

 

to the one found in this mode table,

 

 

the resolution can be adjusted. This

 

 

should not normally be necessary.

 

 

 

Vertical Resolution

The number of vertical lines or pixels from the top to the bottom of an image. The pixel height of an

 

image. NTSC and PAL (SDTV) is 480 lines, HDTV is 720 or 1080.

Phase

The position of the pixel clock relative to the start of the line.

0 – 360 degrees in 32 steps.

 

 

 

Sharpness

A setting for how sharp image edges are on an image that is
