3. VIDEO
This page provides controls for picture size,
position and related functions including image
flip, image freeze and Zoom.
Scan
– Selects various display methods. When
Aspect
is selected, the item below this one
can adjust the aspect ratio of the displayed image.
Aspect
– Allows changing the aspect ratio (shape) of the picture to match the incoming video.
Settings are available for various video and cinema styles.
Pix-to-pix
– displays the incoming video with a 1:1 pixel match. This provides the clearest reso-
lution but usually changes the size of the image. This turns off up/down “scaling”. For example:
a video input that has fewer pixels than the LCD display will appear to shrink while a video input
that has more pixels will appear to expand. This can be useful to determine where artifacts are
occurring by eliminating monitor scaling.
When this mode is on, Aspect, Display Scan, Zoom
and Markers will be off.
Zoom
– expands the picture. It is normal for picture quality to become less sharp as the picture
is expanded. When this mode is on,
Aspect
,
Display Scan
and
Markers
will be off.
Display Scan
– Provides additional methods for viewing images
Full scan
– Uses all pixels available in the display. This may not match the aspect ratio of the
incoming signal.
Overscan
– enlarge the image slightly to conceal image edges.
Underscan
– shrinks the image slightly to allow viewing image edges
Check Field
– displays the picture in monochrome (black & white) or in individual primary
colors. Useful for color analysis and troubleshooting.
Freeze
– holds the current picture on screen.
Image Flip
– the picture can be reversed top to bottom, left to right or both. This can be a useful
tool when viewing images shot through mirrors or from cameras mounted upside-down.
