9.0 OVERVIEW OF CONTROL CHOICES
The Front panel controls consist of the LCD Display, the Menu Select knob,
the Input Select Buttons and the Standby/Operate Switch. Hidden between
the Standby switch and the tenth input button is an Infrared sensor that
optionally provides Scaler control via a handheld IR remote control. A second
method of controlling the Scaler is the RS-232/Ethernet control software,
downloadable at
http://tvone.crmdesk.com . (Installation and operation of the
software will be covered in detail a bit later in this manual). Finally, a third
method of control is via the Ethernet connector. You can assign an IP address
to the unit and control it over your Wide Area Network or even the Internet if
you wish to do so.
9.1 Operation via the Front Panel Controls
Although the two other methods of control provide powerful ways to
manipulate and adjust the RGB Scaler, the Front Panel controls normally are
the first ones explored by the user. Multiple Sub menus result from a practice
that programmers call ‘drilling down’ because you are going deeper and
deeper into the menu structure––and getting progressively more and more
lost. We chose not to use this approach with the RGB Scaler.
With the RGB Scaler, the menu is only one layer deep. From the top menu
you step down just one level and go directly to the area you desire, where you
can work within that functionality without ever going deeper into additional sub
menus. The Schema of the RGB Scaler Menu Structure looks like this:
Banner Screen, Software
and Revision Numbers,
Program Source Info,
Preview Source Info, Lock
Source Info, Lock Method
