5.6 Manual Set
This sub-menu should only be needed when the Auto Set has failed for some reason. See the notes
on Auto Set before adjusting these parameters, in case something else will solve the problem.
Otherwise, you can 'teach' the unit the correct horizontal and vertical position and size of the
computer's RGB output - and thus the Magellan MDC - MK1 will be able to capture this 'input
window' and display it correctly on the video output.
Whatever adjustments you make, the unit will continually try to fit the 'input window' to your preferred
video output size and position setting. It is highly recommended that this mode is only used when in
Underscan mode, or you will not know if you've adjusted the values correctly as some parts of the
output video picture will be off the screen.
Once adjusted, the 'VGA Store' option can be invoked to remember the new settings in Non-Volatile
Memory (thus overwriting any previous setting for this screen resolution and refresh rate
combination).
VGA Left - start of image capture
Increasing this value will move the left edge of the 'input window' further to the right -i.e. less of the
computer image will be captured into internal memory. Increase this value until the computer image
just starts to be cut off, and then decrease by one.
VGA Width - width of capture
Increasing this value will make the input window wider, thus capturing more pixels into the internal
memory. Ideally, only capture just enough pixels to display the whole image.
VGA Top / 4 - start line of capture
Similar to VGA Left, increasing this value will move the top of the 'input window' down, and start to
cut off the computer's image. Decrease by one when this happens. The / 4 appears because the
value shown is the actual line number at which capture starts into the internal memory divided by 4.
VGA Bottom / 4 - end line of capture
Like VGA Top / 4, this determines the last line captured. Decrease until the image just starts to be
cut off, and then increase by one.
VGA Store - store new VGA settings
Press the + button once to store your new settings.
6. ADVANCED MENUS & FEATURES
These features control the basic operation of the unit in order to comply with the operating environment - e.g.
selecting PAL or NTSC video standards. They are accessed in the same way as the previous features - i.e.
from the STATUS mode press the MENU button repeatedly until the LCD displays the message 'Advanced'.
Then press the '+' button to select the Advanced sub-menu. Subsequent pressing of the MENU button will
select the next Advanced Feature to alter.
Any of these new settings can be stored using the 'Store Settings' multi-buttons
(Hold MENU and the + button together for approximately 2 seconds).
