STEP 3 - Selecting the Optimal Output Resolution on the iScan for

the Connected Display.

Once you have installed the iScan into the system, you must properly configure it for the display
device being driven. if the osd is not visible on the display’s screen when you press one of the
menu or sub-menu (Output Setup/Config./Picture Control/Input Adjust) buttons on the remote
control, then you must complete step 2 before continuing.

determine the optimal output resolution to set the iscan to get the best picture from the display.
To do this correctly, the native resolution or maximum resolution of the display must be known.
Native resolution refers to the actual pixel count of a fixed pixel display. Fixed pixel display technolo-
gies include plasma, lCd, dlp and lCos. CrT-based technologies use scan lines so they do not have
a native resolution but they do have a maximum resolution.
