4 Press the MENU button to close the menu.

Caution

Changing this setting may cause temporary breakup of the output video.

If the video output signal format is PAL, then when the [XGA] or [SXGA] setting is used, the edge of the image will be missing in the output from the composite video and S video output connectors. This can be remedied by setting [Video RGB], but in this case the computer monitor output will not be available.

Notes

We recommend that you set this to 60 Hz when the video output signal is NTSC format, and 75 Hz when the signal is PAL format.

When [Video RGB] is selected, the number of valid scan lines is automatically set to 480 and the frequency to 60 Hz if the output signal format is NTSC, or to 576 lines and 50 Hz when the format is PAL.

For details of the output signal format, see under video outputs in the Specification (page 216).

The video image quality for each signal is as follows. Select the best setting for a particular requirement.
