Selecting a format
From the Source list of formats, you select the video format output for your display under
test.
To select a format:
1. Identify the type of display (composite television, component standard definition
television, component high definition television, computer equipment, or other specialty
display).
Note: The generator has a library of standard formats. For a description of how the
library is organized, see “
Understanding the format library ” on page 46.
2. For non-EDID compliant displays, check the specifications of your display for
supported formats.
3. Press the Source key to access the list of formats. A list of formats appears on the
generator’s display as shown below. To see all of the formats, press the + and - keys.
Note: The list of formats displays when pressing the Source key may be a filtered or
abbreviated list. Formats not suitable for the selected interface type will not appear by
default on the
Source list. Also, you can disable format catalogs to prevent certain
formats from appearing on the Source list. For more information about format catalogs,
see “
Format catalogs ” on page 193.
4. Choose a format by pressing the adjacent soft key.
Upon selecting a format, you can modify the format options and settings if necessary. For
instructions on this, see “
