Variables:
• horizontal = An integer value representing the horizontal.
• vertical = An integer value representing the vertical. May have an additional qualifier
such as 'i' or 'p'.
• rate = An integer value representing the refresh rate.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvRX,"'?VIDOUT_RES'"
Returns a COMMAND of the form:
VIDOUT_RES-<horizontal>x<vertical>,<rate>
?VIDOUT_ASPECT_RATIO
Requests the aspect ratio
preference of the video
through the Receiver.
(For explanations of the ratio

options, see page 82.)
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'VIDOUT_ASPECT_RATIO-<ratio>'"
Variables:
ratio = STRETCH, MAINTAIN, ZOOM, ANAMORPHIC
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvRX,"'VIDOUT_ASPECT_RATIO-ZOOM'"
?VIDOUT_TESTPAT
