Preset and User Modes
The Multiscan 20sfII has factory preset modes for the 10 most popular industry standards for true “plug and play” capability.
For less common modes, the Multiscan 20sfII’s Digital Multiscan Technology will perform all of the complex adjustments necessary to ensure a high quality picture for any timing between 30 and 85Ê kHz.
However, due to the wide variety of video boards on the market, it may be necessary for the user to fine tune the vertical/horizontal size and centering.
