•Maximum number of lines that can be processed

These factors are all interrelated with the system’s refresh rate (also known as “frame rate”). When configuring a channel’s output, please keep the following rules of thumb in mind:

•Sample rate is directly proportional to the product of:

(# of pixels per line) x (# lines) x (refresh rate)

Therefore, if a higher refresh rate is desired, the sample rate must be increased. For example:

~A 1600 x 1200 output @ 60 Hz refresh rate requires a pixel clock of 162 MHz — which is equal to Quadra’s maximum pixel clock of 162 MHz.

~A 1600 x 1200 output @ 65 Hz refresh rate requires a pixel clock of 175 MHz — which is greater than the maximum of 162 MHz.

•A higher refresh rate can also be achieved by reducing either the # of pixels per line or the # of lines per frame.

Note	The ratio of active pixels per line to the number of active
	lines is the aspect ratio, typically 4:3 or 16:9.

For example:

~A 1600 x 1200 output @ 85 Hz refresh rate requires a pixel clock of 229.5 MHz — which is greater than the maximum pixel clock of 162 MHz.

~A 1280 x 960 output @ 85 Hz refresh rate requires a pixel clock of 148.5 MHz — which is less than the Quadra maximum pixel clock of 162 MHz.

When configuring your system, the important factor to remember is the interrelation between specifications:

•Yes — you can adjust your system’s output resolution up to 1600 pixels by 1200 lines.

•Yes — you can adjust the system’s output horizontal scan rate from 12 to 125 kHz.

•No — you can not configure resolution at 1600 x 1200 with a refresh rate of 100 Hz — because of the inherent interrelation between factors.

Using a command line interface, system control is provided via the RS-232 serial port or the 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port. There are no controls on the Quadra chassis.
