Barco – Apollo – DOC-3197-2 – user's manual – Revision 08 – November 2006
If a name has been assigned to this source, SourceConnected displays this name. SourceCaption shows the
description entered in the ServerDate\viewersources.ini file.
An assigned title is depicted next to Title. Status refers to the status of the link with the source.
Select from scaling options: original resolution (native size), optimized (best fit, preserve aspect ratio) while
maintaining aspect ratio (distortion-free), or fit into window (aspect ratio and resolution are not preserved).
The Channel field shows the name of the input card selected on the Source tab. The Port associated with this
source is listed as well.
If it is a non-predefined input card, the Port has to be selected. The 4 pole mini-DIN connectors of the BigVideo
Card or QuadVideo Card allow connecting 2 composite signals or 1 S-Video signal. By means of the Port, the
kind of signal is specified (Composite1, Composite2, S-Video).
Port 0 always indicates the Off state.
