Blanking Filter:
The blanking filter specifies the number of lines at the top and bottom of the
image to ‘ignore’ during the calculations of an Auto
-SYNC session.
This is used when the source has some ‘video aberrations’ at the top and bottom of the signal.

Video Format Filter:
Video format filters define the preferred aspect ratios for video.
The selections include:
▪
None (Default)
▪
VESA/VGA
▪
HDTV
▪
Custom
After an initial Auto-SYNC session, if the Aspect Ratio of the image is distorted (for
example, circles in the image are extremely elliptical -- horizontally or vertically), a
custom aspect ratio value can be used to provide better Auto-SYNC results.
When Auto-SYNCing to medical modalities such as 512 x 512 or
1K x 1K video, Auto-SYNC yields better results when the aspect ratio of 1:1 is entered as
a custom format filter.
Example:
To set a preferred 1:1 aspect ratio session:

Note:
It is recommended that you do not change these settings unless you have the
experience and knowledge to do so.
