4. Operation
Using the Setup Menu
When In Auto Acquire is
ON
, and the input source is
digital
, the system uses the following
search order:
•
Saved configuration files defined in the
File Association
Menu
for each input
channel
•
The user’s library of saved files
•
Direct measurement of the signal
If the input signal’s timing is too different from the saved configuration, a good lock may not
be possible. In this situation, the "
Invalid Signal
" message is displayed, and the video
output will be black. You will also see "
Invalid Signal
" if the configuration file for an input
has been deleted.
Please note the following important points:
•
It is recommended that you leave the
In Auto Acquire
mode
ON
. Then, if the
timing changes on any input (whether or not you have a saved config file), you will
always get an output image. On the other hand, if the mode is
OFF
and the input
timing changes, the output will be black.
•
When the
In Auto Acquire
mode is
ON
, the DCS-200 automatically detects and
acquires the input video type and resolution (in most cases), and limits menu
selections to those applicable to the detected video type.
•
If you are an advanced user and you know the exact timing parameters for your
input(s), you can turn the
In Auto Acquire
mode
OFF
, and dial in your timing
parameters manually.

The
Auto Input Config
function enables or disables the automatic input configuration
mode. Values are:
OFF
and
ON
(default).
Note
When you turn I
n Auto Acquire
ON
, the DCS-200
automatically turns
Auto Input Config
and
Auto Input Save
ON
as well. Similarly, if you turn
In Auto Acquire
OFF
,
Auto
Input Config
and
Auto Input Save
turn
OFF
as well. If you
wish to adjust these fields independently, you can still do so.
Tip
If you have already saved configuration files for your inputs, it
is recommended that you turn the
In Auto Acquire
mode
OFF
. This provides the fastest transition times. When the
mode is
ON
, transition times will be greater, due to the time
required to analyze the input timing for each source.
Note
This is the “automatic” version of the manual
Auto Config
mode, which is located in both the
Image Adjust Menu
, and
the
Timing Adjust Menu
. Refer to the “
section on page 57 for details.
Note
The
In Auto Acquire
mode must be
ON
, in order for the
Auto
Input Cfg
mode to function. If
In Auto Acquire
is
OFF
, the
Auto Input Cfg
mode is bracketed.
