PLL

adjustment

Configure PLL to adjust the vertical

synchronization properties of the image. The

PLL adjustment may need to be changed when

there is a repetitive distortion or blurriness on

the horizontal axis of the image. You can adjust

the PLL setting in small steps until a sharper

image is displayed.

Offset and

Gain

Use the offset and gain controls together to

optimize image quality. Increasing gain

amplifies weak signals but also increases noise.

Increasing offset reduces background noise but

also reduces the overall signal.
Balance offset and gain to achieve the best

quality image. You should adjust these settings

by the smallest values possible to achieve the

best results. You can compensate for a large

change to one by making a large change to the

other, but setting both offset and gain to high

values can result in poorer video quality.

Aspect

Ratio

Set the aspect ratio of the captured image. The

default aspect ratio is 4:3. You can change the

aspect ratio to wide mode so that the device can

accurately capture wide aspect ratio VGA

modes.
It's not always possible for the Epiphan device
driver to distinguish between video modes when

they have the same number of rows, for

example, 1024x768 and 1280x768. You can

change the aspect ratio to Wide Mode if you

want the driver to choose wide video mode in

these situations.
