Optimize for Display
Settings: DVI forced, Optimized, DVI/HDMI
Internally, the display interface processes data at a full ten bits per color. The color depth on the DVI-D
output is determined by the supported standard of the attached monitor or device when set to
DVI/HDMI. For DVI 1.0 and HDMI 1.1/1.2 devices it is 24 bit, for HDMI 1.3 compliant devices it is up to
36 bit.
DVI forced will output with 24 bit color depth irrespective of the supported standard of the attached
monitor.
When the Optimized setting is enabled the output resolution is automatically set to the native screen
resolution of the attached display if the Aspect Ratio menu item was chosen to Scale or when no input is
detected. The color depth is determined in the same way as when set to DVI/HDMI.
3.5.4.
DVI Range
Settings: Default, Limited, Full
When set to Default CEA output modes have limited range, and VESA modes have full range. An
incoming limited range mode is either passed through when the output is set to a CEA output mode or
expanded when the output is set to a VESA mode. An incoming full range mode is either compressed
when the output is set to a CEA output mode or passed through when the output is set to a VESA
mode.
If the HDMI/DVI output does not behave as expected because the HDMI display is not evaluating
AVInfoFrames properly, the range can be changed manually.
A limited video range uses the following greyscale for video information - 8 Bit System: 0x10 .. 0xEF, 10
Bit System: 0x040 .. 0x03BF, 12 Bit System: 0x100 .. 0xEFF.

Frame Rate
Settings: 60 Hz, 50 Hz, 48 Hz, 24 Hz, Auto
In auto mode the output frame rate follows the input frame rate.
Signals with 24Hz, 25H, 48Hz, 50Hz input modes get special treatment, modes with other refresh rates
are displayed at 60Hz.
24Hz input modes will be output at 24Hz if the output resolution is set to either 720p or 1080p and the
Frame Rate setting in the Output Config menu includes 24Hz and 48Hz.
24Hz input mode is displayed at 60Hz. 48Hz input modes will be output at 48Hz if the Frame Rate
setting option in the Output Config menu includes 48Hz.
Otherwise it is displayed at 50Hz.
A 25Hz input mode is output at twice the frame rate 50Hz.
An exception to the 24/25Hz input mode treatment is if the output resolution is set to 480p. 480p is
always run at 60Hz output rate.
50Hz input modes are displayed at 50Hz output rate.
The output frame rate can also manually set to 24Hz, 48Hz, 50Hz or 60Hz
Only 720p and 1080p output modes are available with 24Hz refresh rate.
The 480p output mode is only available at 60Hz refresh rate.
For all other modes 48Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz refresh rates are available.
