Bor

der level

can be also be adjusted to pr

event burn-in with some displays. The border level setting is global i.e.

there is only one border level setting for the system. To adjust border level, push the 

or 

button. Th

e current level is

shown. The default value is ‘0’. Pushing the 

or

ecreases or increases the border level.

Overscan

SCAN

Th

Ov

erscan

fun

ction scales the input image proportionally in both vertical and horizontal dimensions by the user-speci-

fied overscan factor. The purpose of Overscan is to remove unwanted image portions around the perimeter of the image.
The default overscan value is 0, which means 100% of the input image is shown. The maximum overscan value is 20
which means the input image scaled up by 120%. To adjust the overscan level, first push the 

or 

button. Th

e current

level is shown. Pushing the 

or 

button th

en decreases or increases the amount of overscan. The Overscan value is

applied to all input aspect ratios and is independent of the Zoom value.

Line Offset

LINE

Th

e image can be adjusted vertically when an SDI input is selected using the 

Line Off

fun

ction. This function can be

set independently for both NTSC and PAL/SECAM input formats.

or 

button sh

ows the current setting.  Pushing the same button again switches to the other setting.

A

UTO:

Th

e DVI input will process all 480p, 720p and 1080i incoming signals with or without HDCP. If any other

signal is input into the DVI input, the system will switch into Passthru mode.  

DPTH:

Th

e DVI input will only function as a pass-thru input.  All input signals will be passed through to the DVI

output. In this mode the OSD from the system won't be displayed although you can navigate through the menu
using the front panel controls.

VCR Mode

VCR

VCR Mode

d

ecouples the output timing completely from the input timing to ensure a stable output from the iScan HD

f

or

VCR playback especially during trick-play modes (play forward, play reverse, still/pause). There are 3 modes:

ON:

Output timin

g is decoupled from the input timing regardless of Frame Rate settings.  

OFF:

Output timin

g is dependent on Frame Rate settings.

A

Film Mode

FILM

Film Mode

allows you to con

trol the film mode operation of the iScan HD

+

. M

ost of the time the automatic film mode detec-

tion is preferred. However there are some cases where the detection needs to be turned off, or biased towards film. There are
three modes - OFF, BIAS and AUTO.

OFF:

T

urns off film detection in the deinterlacer. All video sources are treated as original video

BIAS:

Th

e Film Bias mode may improve film mode detection in some cases. For example, it may improve the detection

of PAL/SECAM film sources.

atically delays the input audio to match the video processing delay. You can choose to increase or

decrease the audio delay by changing this setting. Pushing the 

or 

button first displays th

e current additional bias

delay setting (default 0). Use the 

or 

button to in

crease or decrease the delay in milliseconds. 

Note:

the total audio delay cannot be less than zero - i.e

., the iScan cannot have negative audio delay. If you choose to

decrease the automatic delay setting by a certain amount - this value could be changed by the iScan in situations where the
iScan's calculated delay plus the specified additional delay will result in a value less than zero.
