Getting Your
Computer Working
with the FS2
Getting your computer to work with the FS2 is much like getting your computer to work
with a second monitor. Here's the recommended procedure:
1. Turn off the computer and the FS2.
2. Connect the computer video output to the FS2 HDMI input.
3. Turn on the FS2 and wait for it to boot completely.
4. Turn on the computer and wait for it to boot completely.
5. In the Windows 7 “Display” Control Panel, navigate to “Screen Resolution,” and
confirm that a second monitor for the FS2 is displayed. Click on the “FS2” monitor
and adjust the settings as desired.
6. For Mac OS computers, open the System Preferences application, and click on the
“Display” icon (in the Hardware row). Click the FS2 monitor window and adjust the
settings as desired.
Achieving the Highest
Output Quality
To achieve the highest quality FS2 video output from a computer input, two processes
must work together: (1) the computer display card must be set to scale the computer
video output to the highest possible resolution and image size, and (2) the FS2 must be
set to convert the computer video to the closest matching resolution in a broadcast
format. If the computer is set for a small video output format, such as 640x480 VGA, and
the FS2 converts that to 1080i, the result is a scale down by the computer card followed
by a scale up in the FS2, causing a loss of resolution. Your results will be much better if
you use a high resolution computer output and a closely matching FS2 conversion
format.
