Sharpness 

 

These adjustments affect the apparent sharpness of the image. The subjective 
perception  of the  image  can  often  be  improved  if  you  adjust the  sharpness  of 
the picture material, especially if the picture source is of poor quality. 

 

 

 

Overscan 

 

Overscan is a technique which is employed to trim off the margins of the picture 
by a small percentage, and to compensate for this by increasing the remainder 
of the image to fill the screen. Since use of the Overscan function forfeits part of 
the  picture  content,  and  also  reduces  the  picture  resolution  slightly,  it  should 
only be used for picture sources which produce blurred picture margins

Overscan is only available for the analogue picture inputs, as it produces untidy 
picture margins when used with HDMI. 

 

 

 

Resolution 

 

AUTO, 720p, 1080i, 1080p 

In this menu point you can adjust the resolution of the video signal generated by 
the 

K8

 to match the resolution of your video monitor. 

 

 

 

Framerate 

 

Auto, 50, 60  

Setting the frame repeat rate of the video signal generated by the 

K8

 

If  you  select  one  of  the  set-up  options  50  Hz  or  60  Hz,  the  K8  generates  the 
output  signal  at  the  set  rate,  regardless  of  the  source  material.  In  the  Auto 
setting  the  K8  attempts  to select  the  optimum frame  rate  setting to match the 
capabilities  of  the  TV  set  connected  to  the  system,  taking  into  account  the 
source being reproduced. 

 



In Auto mode it takes a few seconds longer to switch between video sources, 
since the K8 first has to match the signal characteristics of the source with the 
capabilities of your TV set. 

 
 

 

 

 

Aspect

 

 

AUTO, 1:1 (Original), V-33, H-33, V+33, H+V-33 

The term Aspect Ratio refers to the width : height ratio of the reproduced pic-
ture. The most common aspect ratios are 4 : 3, which is familiar from the early 
years of television, and the 16 : 9 wide-screen format introduced into the home 
arena with the DVD. 

The K8 is capable of adjusting the signal from a vast variety of source devices 
to suit the geometry of your video monitor. 

 

 

 

 



You  can  also  adjust  the  aspect  ratio  directly  using  the 

  button  on  the 

FM100 handset. Repeated brief presses of the 

 button are used to cycle 

through  the  K8’s  various  corrective  factors.  Use  this  method  to  select  the 
appropriate corrective factor, so that the picture supplied by the source appears 
on your monitor with as little distortion and wasted screen area as possible. 

A more detailed explanation of this setting can be found in the Chapter entitled 
‘Glossary / Additional information’ under the point ‘Aspect Ratio – choosing the 
right corrective factor’.
