*Adjust knobs do not affect this submenu.
Effect type
From this submenu, the RGB to video input switching effect is selected. The two effects are cut and dissolve. A cut instantaneously switches from one input to another. A dissolve causes one input to fade out while fading in another selected input. The dissolve effect duration is adjustable. For these effects to occur, the initial input must be on input 1 with the output resolution locked to input 1 (“Resol Lock to #1”). See the “Output Configuration” section in this chapter for instructions on locking the resolution.
Using either the horizontal Adjust (
) or vertical Adjust (
) knob, select either cut or dissolve. The default is cut. The dissolve effect has a switch transition period which is adjustable from 0.2 seconds to 1.0 seconds in 0.1 second increments. Attempting to adjust the period below 0.2 seconds will return to the cut effect. Pressing the Take button after selecting a second input will initiate the switching effect between input 1 and the selected input.
Edge smoothing
This submenu features edge smoothing. Edge smoothing smooths edges of a picture by minimizing the differences between pixels.
Using either the horizontal Adjust (
) or vertical Adjust (
) knob, select either “On” or “Off”. The default is “On”.
Top and bottom blanking (blanking adjustment)
To remove noise or extraneous material such as closed captioning by removing scan lines at either the top or bottom of the screen, adjust the top blanking or bottom blanking. Rotate the horizontal Adjust (
) knob to set the number of lines removed from top of the picture. Rotate the vertical Adjust (
) knob to set the number of lines removed from the bottom.
Both the top and bottom blanking adjustments range from 0 to 127, with the default setting being set to 0 for either adjustment.
