54 Chapter 4 Working with Formats
Overview
The generators enable you to create your own formats and edit the Format knob list
through the Video Generator Manager (VGM) application and the command line interface.
Please refer to the VGM online help for details on procedures for these functions
performed through VGM. This chapter provides procedures for customizing formats
through the command line interface.
The following functions are provided:
•Creating formats. If the application environment requires constant switching between
video outputs, for example, you can build your own library of customized formats that
individually select which video output is driven via the proper setting of AVST and DVST
parameters.
•Editing the Format knob list. You can edit the Format knob list to include any
combination of built-in and user-defined formats. The default operating mode of the 802
uses the Format knob to select formats from a list of built in formats.
•Creating aliases. You can assign your own names to formats using aliases.
