3.2. Introduction The HQView-100S units have the input connectors on one side of the housing and the output connector as well as the communication ports on the opposite side. The keypad for controlling HQView-100S is located on the input connectors side. The active input is indicated by their corresponding triangles lit green. 8 1 7 2a 6 3 5 2b 4 1 – Keypad with three keys for OSD menu navigation (Menu, Down and Up) and a key for input channel selection (Input).
A factory reset can also be applied when pressing the factory reset key combination at power up. The keys have to be kept pressed for about 10 seconds until the Composite 1 input LED stops flashing. If the keys are released during that 10 seconds period the system will get into Updater mode (see chapter 5) since the Menu key is part of this key combination. 2a, 2b – CVBS composite video inputs (BNC and RCA) 3 – S-Video input 4 – DVI-I output connector (only the digital DVI-D is supported, HDMI 1.
3.5. Output This menu contains adjustments associated with setting up outputs from the unit. Most items are collected in the Display Type submenu. Use the up and down keys to scroll to the required item and press the Menu key. 3.5.1.
3.5.6. Native Color Temp Settings: 5500, 6500, 7500, 9300, 10000 Native Color Temp allows the user to select from pre-configured color temperatures to match the display. If both Native Color Temp set here in the Output menu and Color Temp set in the Color menu are set to the same value, no conversion is performed. 3.5.7. Output Gamma Settings: 1.0 to 3.0 in steps of 0.1 Output gamma allows to re-gamma video signals with pre-configured gamma values to match the display.
3.6.6. RGB values This is a user-defined color temperature setting whereby individual R,G,B gain and offset (bias) can be set so as to accurately calibrate a particular input to the display device. 3.6.7. Color Temp Settings: 5500, 6500, 7500, 9300 Color Temp allows the user to select from pre-configured color temperatures to match the color temperature of the incoming signal.
Standard preserves the aspect ratio of the incoming image and scales the image to fit into the size of the panel. Dependant on the aspect ratio of the panel the image is either bordered by the right/left side or bottom/top of the panel. Non-used areas of the panel are displayed black (letterboxed). Full Screen scales the image to the size of the panel without preservation of the aspect ratio. Crop preserves the aspect ratio and scales the image to fit the screen.
3.8. Enhancement The enhancement menu provide image enhancement functions. Note that the enhancement settings apply to video input signals only, not computer graphics signals. 3.8.1. Sharpness Settings: -50 to 50 in steps of 1 Control of the sharpening enhancement filters' levels. These are peaking filters to improve highfrequency response. Note that setting this control too high on a signal which already has good high frequency response will cause ringing or ghosting. 3.8.2.
3.9. System This selection contains functions which are more applicable to system operation than to picture adjustment. 3.9.1. User Settings: USER 1, 2, 3, 4 A predefined setting stored under a user name can be selected. Several settings of the HQView-100S can be stored under a user name. Thus, different users can store their preferred HQView-100S settings and recall these profiles by picking up their user name from this menu. 3.9.2.
Note: When changing from DHCP to Static mode or vice versa it is strongly recommended that HQView-100S is powered down after such a change, then powered back up, so that it is properly recognised by other devices on the network. In the Network Settings menu is a submenu Status Announce Setting. This feature is activated when Enable Status Announce is switched on. HQView-100S will then send messages out continuously through RS232 and TCP/IP to signal system condition.
REMOTE CONTROL WEB SERVER 4.1. Introduction HQView-100S features a web server which connects to a PC web browser via TCP/IP. The menu system of HQView-100S is mirrored into the web browser and all menu items can be accessed and controlled through the keyboard or mouse of the PC. 4.2. Installing the Software No extra software needs to be installed on a PC. The PC web browser is used as the graphical user interface for all control items.
FIRMWARE UPDATE 5.1. Introduction HQView-100S has an USB port which allows a PC connection.
