3.2. Introduction The HQView-2xx units have the input connector 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-2xx is located on the input connectors side. The active input is indicated by their corresponding triangles lit green. 8 1 7 6 2 5 4 1 – Keypad with three keys for OSD menu navigation (Menu, Down and Up). With the Menu key the OSD menu is activated.
2 – 3G-SDI input 3 – Number intentionally not used 4 – DVI-I output connector (only the digital DVI-D is supported, HDMI 1.3 receivers can be connected with a DVI/HDMI adapter cable) 5 – TCP/IP port 6 – USB port 7 – RS232 port 8 – Power supply connector 3.3. Main Menu The main menu lists 5 sub menus. The 5 sub menus are Output, Colour, Geometry, Enhancement and System. On each menu page an Exit menu item is available to leave the menu or submenu.
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.
3.5.5. Frame Rate Settings: 60 Hz, 50 Hz, 48 Hz, 24 Hz, Auto In auto mode the output frame rate follows the input frame rate as configured in the Frame Rates menu. Signals with 24Hz, 25H, 48Hz, 50Hz input modes get special treatment, modes with other refresh rates are displayed at 60Hz.
3.5.9. 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. Input gamma and output gamma both default to 2.2. If they are both set to the same value, there is no effect on the image. Note: If e.g. an adjustment to reduce the level of red in the image is required, select a higher number for the (input) Color Temp in the Color menu, or a lower number for the Native Color Temp in the Output menu. 3.6.
3.6.8. RGB values This is a user-defined colour 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. 3.6.9. Input Gamma Settings: Gamma 1.0, Gamma 1.5, Gamma 2.2, Gamma 2.8 Set this value to match the native gamma of the input signal. Input gamma and output gamma both default to 2.2. If they are both set to the same value, there is no effect on the image. 3.7.
3.7.4. Picture Format Settings: Standard, Full Screen, Crop, Anamorphic Picture Format allows a user to select the displayed aspect ratio where the signal input is at variance with the display panel’s natural aspect ratio. Note that some aspect ratios may not be applicable to all signal types, in which case selecting a non-applicable aspect ratio conversion will have no effect on the displayed image. E.g. when a 16:9 image is displayed on a 16:9 panel all settings give an identical full screen image.
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-2xx can be stored under a user name. Thus, different users can store their preferred HQView-2xx settings and recall these profiles by picking up their user name from this menu.
3.9.6. Menu Settings This menu provides items to change the menu position and menu display time, i.e. the time after which the OSD is switched off again with no user interaction. OSD Messages can be activated and deactivated. The menu language can be altered and the keypad can be locked. To unlock the keypad a combination of keys has to be pressed at the same time. The locking of the keyboard is accompanied by the message: Keypad is locked. Press Menu/Up/Down to unlock.
3.9.6. Network Settings The Network Settings menu allows to configure the HQView-2xx TCP/IP address. Under Address Type a static or DHCP leased address can be chosen. The static address, Netmask, and Gateway address need to be entered manually. The Network Settings menu has a section with information on the DHCP Status and IP address assigned to the board, as well as the fixed MAC Address programmed into the HQView-2xx.
