Graphic File Considerations

zz The only valid file formats for stored images are *.bmp and *.jpg.

zz Valid file names are up to 240 alphanumeric characters with no spaces. zz Progressive *.jpg images are not supported.

zz Bitmap (*.bmp) images must be formatted as 24-bit RGB.

zz The GSS 100 does not scale images. An 800 x 600 BMP file does not fill a 1024 x 768 output. Thus, images should be mastered at the output resolution of the GSS.

zz 1080i and 1080p files need to be mastered at a resolution of 1440 x 1080 instead of 1920 x 1080.
