Control Panel Settings
The ‘home’ screen shows a video preview of the SDI input with format and frame rate
information.
The LCD menu lets you change settings for ‘video’, ‘audio output’, ‘scopes’, ‘network’,
‘calibration’ and ‘setup’. Keep reading for information about each setting.
Video Menu
The ‘video’ menu has options for ‘dynamic range’, ‘DisplayPort instant lock’ and ‘clip to
legal levels’.
‘Dynamic range’ lets you select a color profile for your monitor, such as Rec. 709.
DisplayPort instant lock keeps the DisplayPort signal active when changing sources so the
converter does not have to wait for the DisplayPort television or monitor to lock before
displaying the video output.
‘Clip to legal levels’ describes the converter’s input range because DisplayPort monitors always
display full range video. When ‘normal’ is selected, Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K expands
the input to match the monitor. If you select ‘show illegal’ the input range is sent to your monitor
unexpanded.
Display Menu
The ‘display’ menu has settings for ‘scale to fit’, ‘brightness’, ‘contrast’ and ‘preset’.
‘Scale to fit’ scales the input resolution to the native resolution of the monitor to display it full
screen. When ‘scale to fit’ is switched off, the monitor displays a pixel for pixel representation of
the input. Forexample, if you send HD or 4K video to Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K and
output to an 8K monitor, you can scale up the video to fill the screen. Ifyou switch off ‘scale to
fit’, the video is presented at its original resolution in the middle of the screen and surrounded
by a black border.
‘Brightness’ and ‘contrast’ settings, when available, let you adjust shadow detail and
highlight detail.
‘Preset’ options are available for Apple Pro Display XDR and include a range of display profiles.
