Choosing the Correct Output Mode
9
The DVI and RGB output
(#13 and #11)
can output signals in the following formats:
- VGA
(4:3 - 640x480 Pixel) at 60Hz
- SVGA
(4:3 - 800x600 pixels) at 60Hz
- XGA
(4:3 - 1024x768 pixels) at 60Hz or 75Hz
- SXGA-
(4:3 - 1280x960 pixels) at 60Hz or 85Hz
- native image
- SXGA
(
- 1280x1024 pixels) at 60Hz or 75Hz
- SXGA+
(4:3 - 1400x1050 pixels) at 60Hz
- WXGA*/60
(16:10 Widescreen - 1280x800 pixels) at 60Hz
- native image
- WXGA/60
(16:9 Widescreen - 1360x768 pixels) at 60Hz
- WXGA+/60
(16:10 Widescreen - 1440x900 pixels) at 60Hz
- WSXGA+/60 (16:10 Widescreen - 1680x1050 pixels) at 60Hz

Please note that the
can not check the possible
resolution, if the connected units or the cables* are not "Plug and Play" compatible. If the
can not
detect the resolution of the connected device, the output is set to the default of XGA (1280x960)/60Hz.
(*Cables with plug and play compatibility must have a 15-pin plug on both ends with all pins connected,
pin 9 is not used).
If you can not use the "Auto resolution" function, you can select the output mode manually in the on-screen
menu of the EYE-12
(see page 10)
.
In order to achieve the best picture quality you must set the outputs of the EYE-12 to match the native
resolution of your display unit (e.g. LCD or DLP projector or monitor).
Important: What matters is the native resolution of the projector or monitor, not the maximum resolution that
it can display (in compressed mode). The native resolution is the actual number of pixels of the built-in LCD
display or DLP chip of a projector or monitor. Most LCD or DLP projectors can also display higher
resolutions than their native resolution, but only in compressed mode and with inferior picture quality.
Do NOT set the output of the EYE-12 to a higher standard than the native resolution of your display
unit!
If you output the EYE-12 image on a CRT monitor or CRT projector, use an output mode with 75 or 85Hz,
because 60Hz may show a slight image flickering. For LCD/DLP projectors or monitors and video
conferencing units 60Hz is the best choice. If you are unsure what the best mode is, read the user manual of
the connected units.
Do not set a higher refresh rate than your monitor or projector can display, otherwise the monitor or
projector can be damaged!
Follow the instructions in the user manual of the connected units.

The "
Auto resolution
" function is activated by default. In this mode the EYE-12 continuously checks which
devices are connected to the RGB
(#11)
and DVI output
(#13)
and automatically sets the optimal output
mode for each connected device separately.
