NOTES:

Seamless Switching is the ability to instantly and/or smoothly switch sources, and is
controlled with options 7 and 8 in the
PIP and Switching
menu. To use Seamless
Switching, PIP must be disabled.
Tips for best source switching:
•
Ensure a channel has been configured for each source.
•
Progressive digital and analog sources are recommended.
•
Set Image Optimization to Seamless Switching (see below).
•
For best results, use the same frame rate and gamma setting for each.
NOTE:
Avoid using two interlaced sources.
Image Optimization
Use this setting to choose what is more important, image quality or switching between
sources. Selecting
Best Image Quality
will ensure your image is always proper
however when switching sources, the screen will go blank increasing your switching
time.
Smooth Switching
allows for a cleaner transition between sources. The image
will fade from one image to another according to the
Fade Time
control.
Seamless
Switching
overrides the
Frame Lock Enable
settings and forces the output to run at
60Hz regardless of the input signal. Image is 100% seamless when switching sources.
NOTE:
Disable PIP and Best Switching for Interlaced sources > 35kHz.
Fade Time
Set how long (in seconds) it takes to gradually dissolve one image into another for a
source switch when Image Optimization is set to Smooth Switching.
NOTE:
PIP must be disabled for Fade Time to take effect. Also, the PIP window must
be closed to activate it.
