. This button freezes the converted computer signal. The button
flashes when active.
MODE
. This button cycles through the genlock and overlay modes available. It
illuminates whenever genlock or overlay is active. You should select the right
Signal Type before using this button (see On-Screen Display section).
FADE
. This button will fade the converted computer signal in and out, and
flashes red when faded out.
Sounder
An intern al sounder (buzzer) is used to confirm that a setting has changed with the
buttons, or to indicate that the Eclipse is saving settings to non-volatile memory. You
will hear it a fair bit during normal use, but it can be disabled if needed.
Special button usage on Power-up
Certain buttons can be held down when applying power to the unit, to perform certain
special functions:
Factory Reset
. Hold down both the O/SCAN and FREEZE buttons when turning
the unit on. This will reset the unit to Factory settings (and set the unit into
NTSC video mode). It should only be used if the unit's settings give an invalid
output that the user cannot exit from, as all user-settings will be erased by this.
Set to NTSC mode
. This is done by holding the O/SCAN button down when
turning on the unit. This changes the non-volatile PAL/NTSC setting to NTSC,
and will be remembered even when power is removed.
Set to PAL mode
. This is done by holding the FREEZE button down when
turning on the unit. This changes the non-volatile PAL/NTSC setting to PAL,
and will be remembered even when power is removed.
Special multi-hold buttons
Certain buttons can be held together when the unit is on to perform other functions.
Store Current Settings.
This is done by holding the MENU and FREEZE
buttons in together for about 2 seconds, and can be done at any time. This stores
the current settings (e.g. Overscan, Overlay mode, etc.) in Non-Volatile Memory,
which will be read back the next time the unit is turned on.
This option will emit a high-pitched beep when complete to indicate that data has been
successfully stored. If you manage to store an invalid setting, you may need to do a
Factory reset (see above).
If you hear high pitch beeps at other times, it indicates th at other data is being stored in to
memory - eg. i nformation the Eclipse h as deduced about th e graphics resolution coming
from your computer, such as when you change your screen resolution.
