Optimizing the Video

Performing a hard reset

The hard reset function restores the switcher to the base firmware that it was shipped with. After a hard reset, events do not automatically start, but user settings and files are restored. Perform a hard reset as follows:

NThe hard reset restores the factory-installed firmware for a single power cycle. The switcher reverts to the current firmware the next time power is cycled off and on unless a firmware update is performed before the power cycle.

1.	If necessary, turn off power to the switcher.
2.	Press and hold the Reset button on the rear panel while you apply AC power
	to the switcher (figure 3-34).
	Press and hold the Reset button while you apply power to the switcher.

	The switcher initializes. The LCD window shows	Power
	The switcher initializes. The LCD window shows
	the model name and the firmware version and then the default display

	RESET
	Release the Reset button.

Perform the following steps, in sequence, after you have installed the ISS. This procedure will help you to configure the switcher for the best settings for your display environment. In a multi-screen environment, perform this procedure for each display.

See “Advanced Configuration menu”, earlier in this chapter, to select and output a test pattern and to select and output blue-only video.

See “Adjusting the picture”, earlier in this chapter, to make adjustments to the picture quality.

See “User Presets menu”, earlier in this chapter, to save presets.

1.	If you are using a digital display, such as an LCD or DLP projector, use the
	alternating pixels test pattern as a reference to adjust the phase and dot clock
	on the display devices.
	If you are using a CRT display, use the cross hatch test pattern as a reference
	to converge the display.
2.	Set the ISS to output either the crop test pattern for 4:3 video or the
	appropriate aspect ratio test pattern. Use the display’s positioning controls
	to position the image so that you can see all sides of the test pattern on the
	display.

NFor the best results of this optimizing procedure, do not use the ISS’s center controls to position the image.
