if you chose Unlock

, press the

Enter button again to specify the desired output frame rate. use the

Up or Down button to increase or decrease the frame rate. press the Output Select button again to
exit the menu and complete the output frame rate conversion setting.

Border Level

The border level setting is global, that is, there is only one border level setting for the system.

To adjust the border level, push the Up or Down button. The current level is shown. The default value
is ‘0’. Push the Up or Down button to decrease or increase the border level.

HDCP Mode

There are two HDCP modes:

•

Off: HdCp is disabled at the iscan Vp30’s HdMi output.

• On: The iscan Vp30 continuously looks for a HdCp display device on its HdMi output.

Display Profiles

A display profile is a group of display parameters you can save and easily recall in the future. A display
profile consists of a set of display parameter selected from the Output Setup menu.

This includes the following:

• Output Type (Analog or Digital)

• Format (Resolution and all video output timing information)

• output aspect ratio

• sync Type

• Color Space (YPbPr/YCbCr or RGB)

• Output Level (Video or PC)

• frame rate Conversion information

• border level

• HdCp Mode

You can save up to four display profiles (Profile 1 through 4).

A current custom display profile (called User) is also stored in non-volatile memory. However it will
be overridden when you make any modifications to the display profile. You should always save the
current display profile to Profile 1 - Profile 4 to prevent the custom profile from being lost.

The Display Profile

feature is only enabled when you set the User Mode to Advanced, just like the full

control of output timing parameters in the Format menu. Table 7. shows the Display Profile OSD and FPD.

Factory default values for the four display profiles and User are as follows:

•

output Type

digital

•

format

480p

• Output Aspect Ratio

16:9
