computer connected to Analog 1. Then later, using the same input connector but a different computer you set up the Margay for a 1600x1200 @ 60Hz. You
Still later you plug in the first computer with its 1024x768 @ 65Hz picture. Immediately, the Margay recognizes that it has seen this signal type before, and it recalls the Black and White Levels from its internal memory.
It does not Do Frequency or Phase or anything else, because it recognizes that this input was used before, and the previous settings are probably correct.
Possible issue with Mode specific memory Suppose that after setting up the 1024x768 and
1600x1200 pictures, you connect a third computer that is 1024x768, but it has a different requirement for Black and White Level. In this case, the Margay would use the wrong values for these levels.
To prevent this from happening, use the memory slots as described below.
Switching input connectors
Now suppose you use Analog 2 to bring in a pic- ture that uses the component YPbPr video. You change the Colorspace setting to YPbPr. If you switch back to Analog 1 in the Picture menu, the Margay switches back to the RGB Colorspace, because Color- space is specific to the input connector.
Possible issue with Input specific memory
What happens if you switch back to Analog 1 and the picture there is YPbPr? The Margay has no way to know this, no way to detect the difference between RGB and YPbPr, so it will use the wrong Colorspace. To prevent this from happening, use the memory
slots as described below.
Global parameters
In none of the examples above does the Margay try to change the Baud Rate or the Color Balance values, because these items are saved globally.
Memory slots
The Margay has memory slots, 40 of them. Each slot memorizes all the mode specific and all the input specific parameters as well as the input connector used.
When you recall a memory slot, you recall exactly the way the Margay was set up when the memory was saved.
•The change is immediate. There is no waiting for the Margay to Do Frequency or Do Phase or any of that.
•The switch includes the correct input connector.
•The memory slots can be named something spe- cific to your application: “COMPUTER
“MAIN DVD PROGRAM.”
•And there are 40 of them, not just 10.
