The Function Menu allows you to assign user selectable functions to any of the 5 function buttons (F1, F2, F3, F4, & F5)
on the monitor keypad. Some monitor features listed as assignable options in the function menu are also selectable via the
embedded menus and are present simply to provide an option for faster, single button press access to the desired function.
Other features listed require a function key for activation, but may have associated customizable settings that can be found
in other menus.
Assigning Function Keys
To assign a function to a function key highlight one of the 5 Function lines and press ENTER. A list of assignable functions
will appear. Select the desired function with the UP and DOWN buttons and press ENTER to assign that function to the
corresponding function key. The Function Display option at the bottom of the Function Menu gives you the option to have
a temporary conrmation window appear on screen after a function key is pressed that will identify the function that was
turned on or off.
Scopes & Audio Meters 1, 2, 3
These functions toggle on/off a Scopes & Audio Meters prole. Three prole slots are available from the Scopes & Audio
Meters Menu and each prole can be set to a specic function key allowing you to instantly toggle between various types of
Scope and/or Audio Level Meter congurations. Please note that if you have set both Scopes Windows to the Off position
in the Scopes & Audio Meters menu the luminance scope will appear when toggled.
Cross Hatch
Toggles on/off the onscreen display of a graphical cross hatch overlay.
Marker 1, 2, 3
These functions activate the onscreen display of the preset Area, Safety, Custom Graticules, or Active Boundary Markers as
set in the Marker Proles. Marker Proles can be customized via the Marker Menu. By utilizing this function you can toggle
on/off your selected markers with a single function key (see Marker Menu section of this manual for more details).
Overscan
The Overscan function can work with 1:1 Pixel mapping mode on or off. With 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapping mode turned off
the Overscanned image is scaled full screen. With 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapping mode turned on the image remains unscaled,
but the area lying outside of the active scan area is blacked out. This area represents the same area not visible with Pixel
to Pixel mode off.
Still Frame
This function allows you to freeze a video source at anytime. To unfreeze simply press the function key assigned to Still
Frame a second time.
WARNING: Changing a function button
assignment does NOT automatically
turn an active function off. Make sure to
disable unwanted active functions before
changing function button assignments.
NOTE: Many features (Waveform,
Vector Scope, Audio Level
Meters, etc.) require a function
key in order to operate. Some
menus (such as the Scopes &
Audio Meters Menu) only set
your display preferences while a
corresponding function key must
be assigned to turn the feature
on and off. If you are having
trouble with a monitor feature
make sure you have assigned
the proper function key and any
corresponding menu settings.

Details on Overscan Function
With the overscan function off all active lines of video can be displayed on screen. With overscan on a small percentage
of the outermost active video will not be displayed. Additionally, the monitor can scale the overscanned video full screen
or ‘blackout’ the outlying area while maintaining a pixel to pixel display of the video inside the active scan area. To toggle
between these variations of Overscan use the 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapping function. With both Pixel to Pixel mapping and
Overscan selected the area outside of the active scan will simply be blacked out, but the active video will not be scaled
outside of the 1:1 pixel scan. With Pixel to Pixel mapping off and overscan on the active scan area will be scaled full screen.
To view all active lines in Pixel to Pixel mapping mode make sure to turn Overscan off.

Function Menu
Sub Window
The Sub Window function enables a still picture by live picture mode. After assigning the Sub Window function to a function
key the rst key press will result in a picture by picture display of your active input. Once sub window mode is active you can
press the left arrow button to freeze the image on the right while the image on the left will continue to show your live source.
Once frozen you can also switch to any other input provided that the resolution of that input is the same as the frozen source.
To exit sub window simply press the assigned function key again.
Pixel Mapping
The Pixel Mapping function toggles between various available pixel mapping options. Options vary depending on the
incoming source, but may include the following:
1:1 Pixel Mapping: 1 pixel of incoming source is displayed as 1 pixel onscreen. If the incoming source resolution is less
than the total pixel count of the monitor your source will not ll the screen. This is often referred to as a postage stamp
representation of the source. If the incoming source resolution is greater than the total pixel count of the monitor then
only a portion of the incoming source will be shown onscreen, but the pixel position function may be used to view different
sections of the 1:1 pixel representation. The monitor’s tally light will ash to remind you that you are in 1:1 pixel mapping
mode if any portion of the image is not shown on screen when in 1:1. This pixel mapping mode can be combined with the
SD Aspect Function (Anamorphic toggle) to activate a PAL SD FHA viewing mode on the monitor. Once pixel mapping is
active pressing down on the A1 button will move the source to a different onscreen position when pressed. Please note
that if the incoming source is the same resolution as the panel the image will not move. On monitors with lower than
1920x1080 resolution this feature can be used to view any section of a 1080 source in a native 1:1, unscaled format.
Similarly, on all native 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 resolution monitors this mode will allow you to view any portion of an
incoming 2K source in an unscaled 1:1 onscreen representation.
2:1 Pixel Mapping (SD sources only): Every individual pixel of the incoming source is represented by four pixels onscreen.
This scaling algorithm is simple and allows for a largely artifact free double size version of the 1:1 Pixel Mapping Mode for
SD sources. While 2:1 scaling will still not ll the entire screen on a 1920x1080 resolution monitor, it does use a majority
of the vertical screen height and provides an excellent quality large scale representation of the SD source.
Full Screen Mapping: The full screen mode will scale the incoming source to ll as much of the screen as
possible while preserving the incoming source’s native aspect ratio. If the incoming source and panel share
the same resolution then there will be no difference between 1:1 pixel mapping and full screen pixel mapping.
Please note that the Overscan function will be represented differently based on the pixel mapping selection that you select.
Pixel Position
This feature is a part of the Pixel Mapping function and provides a toggle for positioning a 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapped
representation of an incoming source on different areas of the screen. Once pixel mapping is active the directional buttons
will move the source to a different onscreen position when pressed. Please note that if the incoming source is the same
resolution as the LCD panel the image will not move. The pixel position feature does not work unless the 1:1 Pixel to Pixel
mapping mode function is turned On. On all native 1920x1080 resolution monitors this mode will allow you to view any
portion of an incoming 2K source in an unscaled 1:1 onscreen representation.
H/V Delay Mode
This mode activates the Horizontal and Vertical Delay function to highlight the horizontal and vertical blanking portions of the
incoming signal. This can be used in conjunction with the Video Data feature for specic analysis of Horizontal and Vertical
Blanking data.
SD Aspect Ratio
Toggles between 4:3 and Anamorphic display of Standard Denition source. This function should be set to match the SD
source being viewed. The default setting is 4:3. If used in conjunction with 1:1 pixel mapping this function can also activate
a PAL SD FHA viewing mode.
