Video Setup Tab

This tab provides access to advanced functions that will not be needed in a typical setup.
It reports detailed measurements made of the current source video waveform, allows user
source formats to be defined (see

Constructing a Custom User Source Format

on

page 80) and manual setup of phase and blanking for analog sources.
Click

Resync

to restart the autodetection process.

phase

should normally be set to

auto

. However, if a waveform suitable for autodetection

is not available, a manual phase adjustment can be imposed. Automatic phase adjustment
maximizes the contrast between pixels so good automatic waveforms tend to have adjacent
black and white pixels. Phase adjustment is only required on analog sources.

Macrovision

defeat

is used when the source is a dvd player and the output has been

content protected with the macrovision system. This adds additional sync level pulses to the
waveform. These pulses need to be ignored for proper auto‑detection. The pass‑through
output from matrix and the decoded output from the display do not preserve the
macrovision content protection.

Colour

space

is used to select between RGB and YPbPr source types. Auto‑detection

will usually succeed even with the wrong transform selected, however the coloring will be
incorrect. Currently the YPbPr mode expects the data to be as defined by CCIR.601. This is
the normal standard for all standard definition TV signals. If ITU‑R BT.709 HDTV signals are
used a red/green hue should be expected.

Blanking

should normally be set to auto. However, if it is important that pixels on the very

edge of the display are visible, then a manual overide is required. Once in manual mode the
user should enter small positive or negative integers in the

pixels

and

lines

boxes and

click

update

. The offsets are made relative to the current User Source Format

firstpixel

and

firstline

values. Blanking adjustment is only required on analog sources.
