Graphic File Considerations
z The only valid file formats for stored images are *.bmp and *.jpg.
z Valid file names are up to 240 alphanumeric characters with no spaces.
z Progressive *.jpg images are not supported.
z
Bitmap (*.bmp) images must be formatted as 24-bit RGB.
z
The GSS 100 does not scale images. An 800 x 600 BMP file does not fill a 1024 x 768 output. Thus, images should be mastered at
the output resolution of the GSS.
z 1080i and 1080p files need to be mastered at a resolution of 1440 x 1080 instead of 1920 x 1080.
