Advanced Source Setup


For most applications it is recommended that the source input of VN-MATRIX is set to auto mode.
This enables the device to detect the electrical/timing characteristics of the input signal and determine
the exact source type. It will then invoke the appropriate input parameters for optimum processing of
that source.

This also has the advantage that if the input source changes to another source type (e.g. if the source
input is derived from a source switcher) it can change input setup ‘on the fly’ without any user
intervention.

While the auto mode will work with most standard video/graphics standards, there are some
circumstances, particularly with analog sources, where some additional fine-tuning may be required.
For example, when the source:

ƒ

is an RGsB (sync on green) or YPrPb source type,

ƒ

has

Macrovision

®

copy protection,

ƒ

does not have a completely standard signal format,


In extreme circumstances, it may even be necessary to create a custom input mode. For example,
when a source:

ƒ

is completely non-standard,

ƒ

has a poor quality signal.
