Configuration
1. Output resolution
The default output resolution of the processor is 1920x1080/60Hz, user need to set the output
resolution according to the display, this is the first setup of using the processor.
Step 1: select a output resolution which large then the display from the menu,
Main menu: “OUTPUT” → “OUTPUT A/B” → “Standard Resolution” → “OK”
Step 2: tune the output resolution
Tune the output resolution according to the actual display resolution: Horizontal Width,
Vertical Height, Horizontal Start, Vertical Start.
The processor also support user-defined output resolution:
Main menu: “OUTPUT” → “OUTPUT A/B” → “User Resolution”
Then set the parameters according to the actual display resolution.
Hints：After the user resets the output resolution, the system will reset all the parameters of
the splice menu to ensure the consistency of the data. The user-adjusted resolution can only
be smaller than the currently selected resolution. The horizontal start value and the vertical
start value can not be adjusted when the resolution of the fine adjustment is equal to the
currently selected resolution.
2. Configure switching effect
The processor support seamless switching and fade-in/fade-out switching, shortcut key is “FADE”.
There are two different ways to configure the switching effect in main menu:
①Configuration by shortcut key “FADE”, press the “FADE” on front panel.
②Setting in the menu, “FUNCTION” →“Seamless” →“FADE/CUT”.

10
When the indicator light on current switching is fade-in/fade-out, light of is seamless switching.
The time of fade-in/fade-out could be set in the menu “FUNCTION” →“Fade Time”→“0.5s ~ 5s”.
3. Black and Freeze configuration

4608x1152/60Hz, support 5.30 megapixel user-defined resolution output, frame synchronization.
Support bisection splicing, unequal splicing and part display function.
Hints：Before set the splicing parameters，please make sure the output resolution of A and B is
configured.
Enter the “SPLICE” menu and set the parameters as follow:

3. Part/Full display
Part/Full display is based on the splicing function, it could display part of screen for example the
user just need to display the red part as follow. Set the parameters in the menu then use the “PART”
button on the front panel to enable or disable this function.
Full display Part display
Set the parameters of display area, select the input signal for example DVI1 input, enter main menu:
Main menu: “FUNCTION” → “Part Function” → “On”
→ “Part Mode” → “User”
→ “Horizontal Total” → “user defined”

PIP function
1. Picture in Picture
Picture in picture could display two different input source in the same screen. That means in the
normal displaying of the main input, inserted one or more compressed sub-screen in order to monitor
other input. When working in picture-in-picture mode, the user needs to provide at least two signal
input, and make appropriate settings for PIP. This function can also achieve the effect of POP, it is a
special application of PIP.
(1) Enable the PIP: use “PIP” button on the front panel or the menu,
Main menu: “PIP” →“PIP Mode” →“PIP”
Hint：The fade-in/fade-out and seamless switching will be disabled, when PIP is working.
(2) Set the PIP display size and position, PIP frame and transparency in “PIP” menu.
