Pixel-to-Pixel Mode
Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode.
This mode bypasses the monitor’s internal scaling function and displays images in their native resolution and aspect ratio,
with a one-to-one mapping of incoming image pixels to screen pixels:
•
For incoming formats smaller than the native resolution of the window (or selected aspect ratio), the image will be
displayed in the center of the window using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, 480i images will only occupy
exactly 640x480 pixels in a particular channel window in Quad mode, or if the channel is selected full screen, it will occupy
exactly 640x480 pixels in the center of the screen. The surrounding screen area will be black.
■
Curtain Color
Use this setting to choose the default color displayed on the screen when no video input is present. Available colors are
red, green, white, black and blue.
■
Aspect Ratio Settings
Use this menu option to switch between several aspect ratio settings.
•
In 4:3 mode, images are scaled up or down to fill the maximum 4:3 portion of the screen. IMD text and time code
are superimposed on the lower portion of the image. The audio presence indicator and on-screen tally are displayed at
the bottom of the screen, outside the image.
•
In Scaled 4:3 mode, images are scaled to a smaller 4:3 portion of the screen, leaving space for IMD text, tally,
and audio presence indicator to be displayed below or around the image. Time code is superimposed on the lower portion
of the image.
•
In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion at the top of the screen. In this mode, IMD text
and on-screen tally are displayed below the image. Time code and the audio presence indicator are superimposed on the
lower portion of the image.
•
In Full Screen mode, images are scaled to fill the entire screen. In this mode, all OSD features are superimposed
on the image.
The diagrams on the following page show how IMD text, timecode, and the audio monitor icon are simultaneously
displayed on the screen in each aspect ratio setting. The white area represents the video image.
