8.3.1 Input Signal
8.3.1.1 Input Interface
By default, check “Auto Select Input Interface”, supporting input interface includes:
DVI / HDMI input, YPbPr input, CVBS input, S-Video input.
Notes: when “Auto Select Input Interface” is selected, if HDMI and YPbPr input
interfaces both have signal access, then HDMI input is preferred. You must select
CVBS and S-Video input manually, otherwise it will be identified with YPbPr input.
8.3.1.2 Signal Status
The relevant parameters of signal are shown, such as total number of rows, frame rate
(p is progressive scan, i is interlaced), mode, audio frequency.
8.3.2 Image Adjustment
By default, image is auto, but auto cannot achieve desired effect, such as black border,
unclear image, picture which needs clipping, it must be adjusted manually. After
adjustment, you can save the preset. Then you can apply preset values without
adjustment when the same signal accesses.
For example as VGA signal adjustment:
Black border adjustment: Through adjust left margin and top margin to
eliminate black border. Every time you can adjust 1 pixel.
Image clipping: Through adjust image width, height, left margin and top margin
to achieve desired requirement. Increasing/reducing width of image starts from
right, increasing/reducing height of image starts from below.
Skills of image clipping as follows:
1. Set scale full output image to confirm whether clipping adjustment is
appropriate.
2. Cut off left margin of image: firstly increase left margin, then reduce image
width.
3. Cut off right margin of image: reduce image width.
4. Cut off top margin of image: firstly reduce image height, and then increase
ｈｔｔｐ：／／ｗｗｗ．ｖｅｌｏｃａｐｓ．ｃｏｍ

top margin.
5. Cut off lower margin of image: reduce image height.
After image adjustment completes, click "Save Preset" to save current adjustment;
click "Del preset" to delete preset you saved; click "Apply Preset" to apply the saved
preset to current settings.
8.3.3 Image Output
Display output format of current image, set image zoom scale, deinterlace and
image flipping.
Format: display output image size, frame rate, color format.
Scale: if image size is not unified with user setting, we provide three ways,
full output image and keep aspect ratio, fill border to black and keep aspect
ratio, clip border. Full output image and keep aspect ratio is default.
De-interlace: vertical blend, motion adaptive. Motion adaptive is better,
but it takes up high CPU usage, also you can choose “disabled”.
Image: offer two ways, vertical flip and mirror.
