Configuring the Quad Split Sources
This section briefly describes how to set up your Quad Split sources using the Quad Split tab in
DashBoard. From the Quad Split tab, you can assign any input to any quadrant and add a text label to
display at the bottom of the applicable quadrant. All active video content will be visible, including the
480i Line 21 content. Note that when a loss of input in a quadrant occurs, the 9229-QS fills that
quadrant with a blue pattern.
Note — The ancillary data (HANC and VANC) of the Quad Split is empty but filled with
valid black.

Applying a Border
The Color/Border feature allows you to set the color (RGB format), transparency, and overall thickness
of the border that is applied to the specified source. Borders are created from the outside edge of the
quadrant and expand inward. The border is applicable to the specified source and not a specific
quadrant.
