The two “Option Card”
entries In the
Configuration menu
identify which optional
input modules (a.k.a.
cards) are present at
INPUT 5 (Option 1) and
INPUT 6 (Option 2). If
either of these option
slots is empty, the
corresponding read-only menu entry does nothing. If there is a module installed, the
corresponding menu entry may activate a submenu of further options pertaining to
that module.
For example, if the Dual SD/HD-SDI module is installed at
INPUT 5 (Option 1). The
Option 1 Card submenu provides controls for configuring the various connections on
this multi-input, multi-output module. As desired for your application, you can define
1) which physical input loops through to which output, and 2) which functional input
(main or PIP signal) loops through to which output.
Select Automatic mode or a series of
manual modes. In Automatic mode
the input video payload information
is read and compared to that of the
SMPTE 352 standard to detect the
dual link format and the primary
channel. Single video input will also
work in this mode without any
payload information. Dual link input
video which does not contain payload
information must be set up manually.
Select the format and which of the
two channels is the primary input.
PIP (Picture-in-Picture) and Seamless Switching are independent but related projector
features that both utilize two image-processing paths within the projector. In the case
of Picture-in-Picture, this double processing enables you to display two different
images simultaneously – typically a smaller “secondary” image within a large
“primary” background. In a seamless switch, the double processing essentially occurs
between displays so that a full image relayed from one source can smoothly transform
into a full image from another source. This change can be virtually instantaneous, or
slowed as desired so that the current image appears to dissolve or “fade” into the new
image. NOTE: PIP and Seamless Switching are not available on WU models.
Options for enabling and controlling PIP and Seamless Switching all reside in the
same menu. Note, however, that because both features utilize the projector’s double
processing capability, PIP and Seamless Switching cannot be used together. For
example, fading a pair of PIP images into a new display from a different source is not
possible.
For best PIP or Seamless Switching results, use two different signal types* as defined
below. Do not mix two signals of the same type.
