3.5.3 Force Analog Mode
Sometimes the automatic mode detection process is unable to detect the mode satisfactorily. In these
rare cases you can force the Bay Cat to use a particular mode.
Mode forcing applies to Analog RGB pictures only. The
menu does not work for digital or video pictures.
The automatic mode detection works very well
almost all the time. In those rare instances when it
does not produce a satisfactory result—the picture is
tearing, very noisy, folded over on itself, or the wrong
size—you should first try to fix the problem before
forcing the mode:
• Check the Resolution in the Picture menu. Is it
what you expect?
• Check the picture at the source. In Windows, look
at the display settings.
• Press
SETUP
to initiate automatic mode detection
again.
• If the picture appears stretched in one direction,
look at the Aspect Ratio menu. Set it to 1 to 1 /
Keep Original Size. The picture may not fill the
screen this way, but it should not be distorted.
If none of the above adjustments fix the problem, you
can try forcing the mode.
Forcing the mode only works if
Retry On Lost Signal
is
checked in the
Auto Setup Options
menu.
1. Determine the mode of the source you are using:
resolution and vertical refresh rate.
2. Find this mode and its Mode ID number in the
three tables starting on page 94.
3. With
Enable Force Mode
not checked, select the
mode number.
4. Now check
Enable Force Mode
.
The Resolution shown in this menu is the resolution of
the mode number shown in the top line. The currently
active mode is shown in the bottom line.
5. If this forced mode does not work well, try
another similar mode. Check again the specifica-
tions of the source picture you are trying to dis-
play.
Tables of Modes can be found at “Tables of Modes for
Analog Inputs” on page 94
