0. Menu Select/Exit Menu
The Menu button (
)brings up the Menu Select/Exit screen. This is the
starting point to get into any of the Control Menus. Some menus in this chapter
have more than one example. This is because of the different System 4
xi
models. Be sure to use the example for the System 4
xi
model you are using.
The example here is for the System 4LD
xi
model (4LQ
xi
is very similar except for
references to line quadrupler).

Each of the menu choices listed in Menu #0 is explained later in this chapter.
1. Video Mode Configuration
The next two pages show three different versions of Menu #1 to cover the
different models in the System 4
xi
Series of products. Use the one that is
appropriate for your model.
Use the Video Mode Configuration Menu (Menu #1) to match the type of video
with the signal coming into each input and choose how it will output. For
example, if Input #3 has S-video coming in and you want it line-doubled when it
goes to your projector, select VID03 and select YCLD (_m or _s for
xi
models)
The System 4LD
xi
and 4LQ
xi
models can have line-doubled (or quadrupled)
output with the
motion or still attribute. If the application includes action video
(movies, etc.) use the
motion attribute; if it is a slide presentation (still pictures
and text), use the
still attribute. Each setup done in Menu #1 is stored with its
respective channel.
