If you are familiar with the VIP, here is a quick update on the new
features:
Use of the Keypad
The VIP no longer has a keypad, but is now controlled through the
keypad. See page 20 for a description of the buttons.
Video Modes
The VIP now supports up to 4 video modes depending on which model
you purchased:
Model Resolutions
VIPtv 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768
VIP 640x480, 1024x768, 1280x720, 1280x768
On the VIP model, 1280x720 is also known as HD 720 or 720P and is true
16x9 Widescreen. However, not all monitors support this mode.
Therefore, 1280x768 has been provided as another widescreen resolution
that most monitors can support. Please consult the user’s manual for
your monitor to find out which resolution is supported.
The VIP Composer does not support the higher resolutions of 1024x768,
1280x720, or 1280x768. These resolutions will be included in a future
released called the MagicBox Composer.
(See page 25 for setting the video resolution on the VIP).
Network Settings
It is no longer necessary to set the Ethernet adapter type. The new VIP
has a built in 10/100 Ethernet adapter. Also, the VIP is set to use DHCP
for assigning an IP Address. If you want to assign an IP address
manually, make sure to also set the Subnet, Gateway, and Domain
values. Consult your Network Administrator for these values.
