Use the Basic tab to load and save the profile file of the source and the timing of the signal
The name of the source profile and of the timing may not contain any empty spaces.

Select Freeze to stop the current film scene (freeze-frame).
With Video, there are 5 different de-interlacer modes. The best one to be selected depends on the type of the
displayed video.
Mode 1: deinterlacer off; mode 2: interlace mode 1; mode 3: motion (default value), mode 4: even frame;
mode 5: odd frame.
(Other values than the default mode might be recommended in case the video has been produced from a cin-
ema film)
With RGB sources, in addition to the static reduction (1/3 for dual channel mode) a dynamic frame rate reduction
can be set. The higher the frame rate reduction, the less consumption of bandwidth. The dynamic frame rate
reduction of 100% in total reduces the frame rate by a factor of 384 (dual channel mode), e.g. a signal with 75Hz
is displayed with 1 frames per 5 seconds.
