GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Scaler
Auto:
The scaler uses the output resolution and aspect ratio (automatic or forced) to maximize the
displayed video size. The input signal is de-interlaced (when input is interlaced) and then scaled to fit
the display.
5% to 65%
Scale down the video to a specific image size. 5% will produce a smaller image than 65%.
Off:
The incoming video is not rescaled. If it is smaller than the display, it will appear centered within the
display. If it is larger than the display, the video will be centered but cropped so that only a part of it is
shown. In this mode the video will not react to the aspect ratio configuration.
Picture anchor
When the scaler is not in Auto or Off, you can select up to 9 pre-configured video positions.
Picture offset
When the scaler is not in Auto or Off, you can fine-tune the video horizontal and vertical positions.
Dynamic Range
SDI video has a dynamic range from 16 for black to 235 for white. Dynamic range expansion broadens the range to
the full gamut of 0 to 255 that is available in an 8-bit system.
Expand:
Use the full dynamic range of 0 to 255 for the displayed video by expanding the input video data
(video processing implied). Video values lower than 16 will be clipped to 0.
Standard:
Display the video using the standard dynamic range of 16 to 235. Video values lower than 16 will
be displayed properly.
Monitor PowerSaving
Off:
A valid HDMI output is always present even when there is no valid input selected.
On:
When an invalid input is detected, the HDMI output will be turned off to let the monitor go into its
power saving mode.
50Hz i/PsF
When the input signal is 1080i 50 Hz, it is not possible to automatically detect whether the video is 25 Hz PsF video or
50 Hz interlaced. If PsF is known to be present it must be manually selected, so that the Kaleido-Solo can properly
process the video image (de-interlacing for interlaced video; field-merging for PsF video).
Interlaced:
Use when the input video is in interlaced format. The video will be de-interlaced.
PsF:
Use when the input video is in PsF format. The video will be field-merged.
