Sync can be either negative polarity or positive polarity.  To further complicate 
things, it is possible that you may want to make the Horizontal Sync polarity 
different from the Vertical Polarity. This control allows you to make that change. 
From the screen shown above, press the Menu Select knob and the brackets will 
begin to flash. You have four possible selections: “+H+V”, “-H+V”, “+H-V” and “-
H-V”. Rotate the Menu Select knob until your desired selection appears and then 
press the knob to record the choice. 
 

17.0  SYSTEM SUB MENU 

 
 
 

 

Sub menu . . . 
System 

The final Sub Menu is for adjustments of System parameters. The “System” in 
this case is the Scaler functions unrelated to individual inputs, outputs or any of 
the various production features. Most of the screens are informational but two 
screens offer “On” and “Off” control of some low level functions plus one stores 
all current Scaler settings. 
 

17.1  Software and Hardware Numbers 

 
From the System Sub Menu, press the Menu Select knob and the first in a series 
of System screens will appear. 
 
 
 
 

System 
SW: 162,      PT:   3,           BT:    6 

This screen is an informational screen. Should you require technical assistance 
with your Universal Scaler, the technical support personnel may request that you 
read the contents of this screen to them during the support call. 
 
The first section, “SW”, is the version of the software that is installed on your 
Scaler. You can update software via the User Support web site (procedure to be 
described later in this manual) and the updates are currently free of charge. “PT” 
refers to Product Type and “BT” means Board Type.  Both of these are hardware 
designators and cannot be changed by the user however both designators are 
important to support personnel. 
 

17.2 Software 

Date 

 
 
 
 

System 
SW date:        2004-7-11 

This is an information page showing when the currently installed software was 
released. The information is useful to the user as he or she compares the date to 
the support website information describing the current software release.
