Remotely Control ScanDo HD
ScanDo HD comes equipped with a RS-232 and an standard Ethernet port.
It is suggested that you review the ScanDo HD User’s Manual prior to
controlling the ScanDo HD from a remote location.
ScanDo HD ships from the factory with no presets stored.
Therefore, it is necessary for the user to store any presets they may desire
for this feature to be active.
You may store and recall presets via the RS-232 port or via the intuitive GUI.
For RS-232 instructions, please see page 8 of this manual.
For ethernet/GUI instructions, please see page 10 of this manual.
The Preset function stores the current settings based on the current output
format timing and DVI input resolution.
ScanDo HD stores the following information in its Preset memory:
• The Zoom ( H & V size ) of the image
• The Pan ( H & V position ) of the image
• All Processing Control Settings ( Brightness, Sharpness, etc. )
• The Anti-Flicker Setting
Note: A preset may not be recalled if the output format and/or the input
resolution differs from the output format and/or input resolution saved
with the preset.
