Installation and Setup, cont’d

1 — DDSP (Digital Display Sync Processing) — This feature may be necessary for digital display devices such as LCD, DLP (digital light processing) and plasma displays. Use this option if the image is not displayed properly after other options, such as serration pulse and vertical sync pulse width, have been explored.

On — The interface uses DDSP instead of ADSP.

DDSP does not process the sync signal.

DDSP disables the horizontal shifting control.

Off — The interface performs sync processing operations, such as centering, with ADSP.

2 — Serr (serration pulse) — Many LCD and DLP projectors and plasma displays must have serration pulses removed from the sync signal in order to display properly. Flagging or bending at the top of the video image is a sign that the serration pulses should be removed.

On — The interface outputs serration pulses in the vertical sync interval.

Off — The interface does not output serration pulses.

3 — SOG (sync on green)

On — The interface outputs sync on green.

Off — The interface outputs separate horizontal and vertical sync (on the H and V connectors) for

RGBHV.

4 — V-Sync Width (vertical sync pulse width) — For some digital display devices, if no picture appears, the picture cuts in and out, or the picture is scrambled, try adjusting the output vertical sync pulse width or switching from ADSP to DDSP.

On — The vertical sync pulse is narrow.

Off — The vertical sync pulse is wide.

5 — Neg Sync — This switch controls sync polarity.

On — Both the horizontal and the vertical sync signals are forced to negative polarity on output.

Off — Output sync polarity follows (is the same as) input polarity.

6— Comp Sync — This switch controls composite sync output.

On — The interface outputs combined horizontal and vertical sync for RGBS.

Off — The interface outputs RGBHV or RGsB video.
