Output sync
If you set the scaler to output RGsB video, you may encounter image
problems on the display connected to the TP output.
The VTR001 CM that receives the TP output can receive RGsB signals from
the scaler. However, the red, green, and blue video signals’ black levels are not
clamped to a 0V reference, as for RGBHV or RGBS. For most displays, this is
not a problem. On some displays (such as some LCD displays) however, the
black levels of the red, green, and blue signals may change as the average
picture level changes, resulting in an unacceptable image.
