Video Adjustment area

The Video Adjustment area provides slider controls that let you change the following video parameters:

•Horizontal shift (position)

•Vertical shift (position)

•Horizontal start

•Pixel Phase

•Total pixels

NWhen you make horizontal or vertical position changes (shift the image), the setting is changed in the receiver(s). The master receiver reports the shift values to the DA via the optional Optical 2 cable connected betweeen the DA and the master receiver.

If your computer is connected to either of the DA's serial ports, and the Optical 2 cable is not connected between the master receiver and the DA in your system, you can still shift the image in the control program's Video Adjustment area, but the program cannot report the position values.

Output Configuration area

Sync Format radio buttons — Click either the RGBHV/RGBS or the RGsB radio button to select the desired video output sync format.

Output Polarity radio buttons — Click either the Follow input sync or the Force sync to negative radio button to select the desired video output sync polarity.

NWhen you make output configuration changes, the setting is changed in the receiver(s). The master receiver reports the changes to the DA via the optional Optical 2 cable connected betweeen the DA and the master receiver.

If you are connected to either of the DA's serial ports, and the Optical 2 cable is not connected between the master receiver and the DA in your system, the program cannot report the output sync format and polarity position settings in the control program's Video Adjustment area. You can change the output sync format and polarity, but the program cannot report the changes.

Advanced Configuration area

Executive Mode button — Click the Executive Mode radio button to toggle the front panel lock on and off.

NWhen you toggle the front panel lock on and off, the setting is changed in the receiver(s). The master receiver reports the changes to the DA via the optional Optical 2 cable connected betweeen the DA and the master receiver.

If your computer is connected to either of the DA's serial ports, and the Optical 2 cable is not connected between the master receiver and the DA in your system, you can still toggle the front panel lock in the control program's Advanced Configuration area, but the program cannot report the lock's status. The program indication changes (figure 3-6) to show that the Executive mode is control only, without and indication of the current mode. The Set executive mode On or Off message is displayed for approximately 1 second.

Auto Memory checkbox — Click the Auto Memory checkbox to automatically apply saved position, horizontal start, total pixels, and pixel phase settings when the sensed input resolution changes. See "Auto Memory submenu" in chapter 2, "Installation and Operation" for more details about the auto memory function.

Auto Image button — Click the Auto Image button to adjust the output settings for the best image, based on the sensed input resolution.

Test Patterns drop box — Select one of three built-in test patterns - Color Bars, grayscale, and alternating pixels - as necessary to help adjust the display's color, focus, and grayscale. Select Off to output the video input to the DA.

NYou must have a video input connected and fiber cable Optical 1 connected between the DA and receiver for the receiver to output a selected test pattern.

The test pattern turns off if the input signal rate is changed or disconnected, or if power is removed.
