Naming and Saving Input Timing Values

Quadra’s Auto Sync command (INputAutoSync) sets the input mode for a specified input.

When ON, the autosync circuitry is enabled. If an input signal is re- synchronized, the current WSR settings are automatically reset to full size (similar to performing the ResetSourceRectangle function).

When OFF, the autosync circuitry is disabled, and the WSR settings are retained — even with a loss of the input signal.

With Auto Sync enabled, Quadra automatically syncs to the RGB signals connected to the various inputs. The Auto Sync function has no effect on Composite or S-Videoinput sources, as those format definitions are well- known and easy to auto detect.

However, because there are many different RGB graphics formats with differing standards, blankings, aspect ratios and sync requirements, Quadra maintains an extensive Factory Timing List of the standard formats. This list can be used to set output timing parameters (as describe in the “Setting Output Format” section), or used to “force” an input to a specific timing set.

When RGB inputs are first connected and when Auto Sync is enabled, Quadra measures the input signals, discovers their properties, and compares those properties against the entries in the Factory Timing List. The “user” section (registers 100-160) is searched first, because the user may have stored specific “custom” timings. The “factory” section (registers 1-99) is searched next.
