Adjusting the Image

The most commonly used options for image adjustments are accessed through two menus:

Size and Position

(

ENU

1) and

Image Settings

(

ENU

2), both of which appear in the

Main

menu. From either of these two

menus, you can change settings affecting the image from the current channel by working with the appropriate
slide bars, check boxes and pull-down lists.

XIT

will return to the previous menu (or to the presentation, if

from the

Main

menu) and accept any changes you may have entered. Settings are saved with the current

channel.
From your presentation, you can access any of the individual options in these menus by pressing

ENU

followed by the appropriate two-digit number representing their location in the menu system. For example,
press

ENU

24 to quickly access the “Color Space” option in the

Image Settings

menu.

NOTES: 1)

For certain options, preference may be to use a “direct key” from presentation level to go directly

to a particular option without traveling through the menu system (available for certain display parameters
only). For example, press

ONTRAST

to access the “contrast” slide bar immediately. Press

XIT

to return to

your presentation.

To hide “direct” slide bars, disable the

Display Slide bars

check box in the

Menu

Preferences

menu.

To hide the entire menu system from view, turn off the on-screen display by pressing

OSD

then the

OWN

RROW

For a good and efficient first step in perfecting the image, press the auto setup button,

UTO

. This optimizes

critical display parameters such as size, position, pixel tracking, etc., based on the type of incoming source. An
Auto Setup can save considerable setup time, and you can still adjust the image as described below.
The best auto setup will be obtained under the following conditions:
• Input levels, it is best to have an image with saturated (very Bright) colors.
• Phase, high contrast edges are needed.
To determine active window size:
• Video images should have whites and blacks in the image
• Wide range video images should have content (including white) that extends to all edges of the image.
When

AUTO

is pressed, the auto setup process shall begin. In some cases for analog video a menu may appear

that presents multiple choices that allows the user to select the format that best suits their source. This
selection helps the auto setup get the correct settings for the tracking and phase controls for analog sources that
contain the same number of active lines, but have a different aspect ratios.
• All digital and decoder option cards, will not present an additional auto setup menu since digital hardware

provides enough information to perform the correct auto setup.

• Analog PC graphics sources (4/5-wire sync) present a list of formats based on the current active lines

detected in the video.
