It is recommended to use a setting between 0 and 16 and not more than 20. For most LED videowalls 
the optimum setting for Black Crush is between 8 and 20. For particularly noisy subject material 24 can 
be used but detail loss may occur in dark areas.  If too high a setting is chosen, image solarization may 
be observed where dark image areas turn completely black or even change color.

Output Config  

This Menu provides items to configure the output port. 

Sync Mode 

The VGA output port can be operated with separate syncs, composite syncs and Sync-On-Green. 

Internally, the display interface processes data at a full ten bits per color. 

Optimize for Display 

Settings: DVI forced, Optimized, DVI/HDMI 

Internally,  the  display  interface  processes  data  at  a  full  ten  bits  per  color.  A  resolution  of  ten  bits  per 
color  is  provided  for  the  VGA  output.  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.  The  color  depth  is  determined  in  the  same  way  as  when  set  to 
DVI/HDMI. 

DVI Color Space and DVI Range 

The color space of the DVI output port can be set to RGB or YPbPr, the range can be set to Expand, 
Normal, Compress and Auto.  

A limited video range is only using the following greyscale for video information  - 8 Bit System: 0x01 .. 
0xFE, 10 Bit System: 0x004 .. 0x03FB.  

Auto makes the best choice for the range for the DVI and 3G-SDI output. 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. 

Frame Rates 

Settings: 60/50 Hz, 60/50/24 Hz, 60/50/48, 60/50/24/48 

Limits the possible output frame rates that can be selected. It is primarily to be able to limit the choices 
available for the Auto refresh rate configuration. 

3G-SDI Data Map 

720p and 1080i HD-SDI data can be output in YCbCr 4:2:2, YCbCr 4:4:4 or RGB 4:4:4 mode. 

3GSDI data can be output as Level A or B data.  

 

3.8.10. 

Output Window Size  

For LED videowalls: 
 

In this submenu the size of the output window can be scaled to fit exactly the size of your LED videowall, 
i.e.  the  image  size  is  reduced  and  positioned  according  to  the  right,  left,  top  and  bottom  edge  slider 
setting. The image can be reduced to as few as 128x96 pixels.  

A reset function is provided for convenience to set all sliders back to full output resolution. 

Note: When the Windows Size function is enabled the latency of the system increases by 1 frame.
