1.3 Getting the Best Results
There are many factors affecting the quality of results when scaling
video signals. Some basic precautions will ensure the best possible
performance from your 1362 Video Scaler.
Output Display Device
The quality of the output signal will depend largely upon the
type and quality of display device used. For instance, some video
projectors perform better than others.
Using Compatible Resolutions
Set the output resolution of the 1362 to the resolution and refresh
rate most compatible with the display device. This allows the 1362
to do most of the work, which usually results in a superior picture.
The 1362 HDTV output resolutions include 480p, 720p, and 1080i* at
50Hz or 60Hz.
Distance Between The 1362 And The Display Device
This plays a major role in the nal result. Long distances are possible,
but special measures should be taken in order to avoid cable losses.
These include using high quality (coax-type) VGA cables. Line
ampliers may also be necessary.
Output Connection Cables
Low quality cables are susceptible to interference. They degrade
signal quality due to poor matching and cause elevated noise levels.
Therefore, cables should be of the best quality. Coax-type computer
cables are recommended because of their superior internal shielding
characteristics.
Interference From Nearby Electrical Devices
These can have an adverse effect on signal quality. For example, an
older computer monitor often emits very high electromagnetic elds
that can interfere with the performance of video equipment in its
proximity.
