10.3 Program Source
1024 x 768 60Hz
Program Source [RGB1]
The Program Source LCD display shows the signal source that has been
selected as the main input to the Scaler engine. This is the only input that
supports special processing such as Zoom or Shrink. The top line of the display
shows the characteristics of the signal. In this case, the signal is made up of
1024 pixels in the horizontal dimension and 768 pixels in the Vertical dimension.
These pixels, or picture elements, are repeating at a rate of 60 times per second.
(The “Hz” in “60 Hz” is an abbreviation for “Hertz”, the name of a physicist who
studied electrical waves. Hz refers to how many cycles of a wave occur each
second. In this case, the picture is repeating at a cyclic rate of 60 times per
second hence the 60 Hz designation in the display).
The bottom line indicates the input chosen for the Scaler engine. This display
tracks the input button selected but can also be changed via the Menu Select
knob. To change the input by use of the knob, press the knob once while on the
above screen. This will cause the brackets surrounding the input selection to
begin flashing. When the flashing begins, rotate the Menu Select knob until the
desired input appears between the brackets. Pressing the Menu Select knob
again will stop the brackets from flashing and will also cause your selection to be
loaded into temporary memory where it will remain until manually changed or
until the unit’s AC power source is disconnected.
10.4 Preview Source
The Preview Source functionality is provided so you can see the content or
quality of an image before you place it on the program channel.
In the Factory Default mode, the Program and Preview outputs track meaning
both are switched at the same time. In the Adjust Buttons Submenu, the two
functions can be separated allowing the Preview functionality to operate
independently of the Program function or act as a fixed pass through. The
procedure for separating the two functions will be discussed when we reach the
Adjust Buttons submenu.
From the standpoint of the LCD display, the functionality is the same for both
Program and Preview meaning all information and selection criteria work the
same way for both functions. The top line of the display provides the same image
information and the selection shown on the bottom line can be changed using the
input buttons or the Menu Select knob, just as is the case for the Program
Source. The Preview Source LCD display looks like the following image:
