pixel thereby losing image resolution. The Input Pixel Phase screen allows you to
sample the image precisely in the middle of the pixels.
To make this adjustment, select an RGB source and then provide an image from
that source with fine detail, preferably with very sharp vertical lines such as a
multi-burst signal. In the absence of a multi-burst signal, use something with as
fine a vertical detail as possible.
Press the Menu Select knob once and the brackets will begin to flash. Adjust the
knob Clockwise and Counter-clockwise for the sharpest picture with the least
shadowing or noise. When done correctly, any subsequent image from the
adjusted source will be sampled in the middle of its pixels. All images from that
source will thus be improved, not just the one you used for the adjustment.
When finished press the knob again. The brackets will stop flashing and the
value will be stored in temporary memory. Hold the knob in until the unit ‘Beeps’
to record the value in permanent memory.
12.5 RGB Input Type (RGB Only)
Program Source [RGB1]
RGB Input Type [RGBHV]
There are several types of signals that are called RGB signals as a generic term.
Each has slightly different characteristics that set it apart from similar RGB
signals. Move the Menu Select knob from the Input Pixel Phase screen and bring
up the screen shown above.
(Again, we are assuming you performed a factory
reset as suggested. If you did not, you won’t necessarily see the same screen
when you rotate the Menu Select knob. It may be another type of signal [not
RGB] or it could be parked on a button other than Input Button number one as it
is in our example).
Assuming you are seeing the same LCD screen as displayed above, press the
knob once and the flashing brackets are your notification that you can change the
type of RGB signal present on the input button. The device begins its offerings on
the default signal type of
RGBHV . This abbreviation means Red, Green, Blue
imagery plus Horizontal and Vertical Sync. If you rotate the knob one detent to
the right, you’ll see
RGBS. This means Red, Green and Blue plus a single Sync
signal. A further rotation to the right and you will see RGsB displayed between
the flashing brackets. This means that you have a Red, a Green and a Blue
image plus a sync signal superimposed on the Green channel. Finally you have
the choice of the
YUV family of signals (RGB) and also the “tl” variant of YUV
with Tri-Level Sync signals for 1080i, 720p HDTV type signals.
Make your choice and then press the knob once to lock in your choice for the
input you selected. Press and hold until you hear the beep to permanently store
the selection. Manually select any other Input Button that has an RGB signal
