Setting up an iScan VP50 Using the Internal Test Patterns and the
VRS Optimization and Evaluation DVD
The iScan VP50 has 35 built-in test patterns to assist in the setup of your display and your individual
sources. ABT recommends that you use the included VRS Optimization and Evaluation DVD
to
assist in this setup.
Determining the Correct Output Resolution for Your Display:
The rst step to properly set up your iScan is to determine the optimum output resolution to set your
iScan VP50 to get the best picture from your display. To do this correctly, you must know what the
native resolution or maximum resolution of your display is. Native resolution refers to the actual pixel
count of a xed pixel display. Fixed pixel display technologies include plasma, LCD, DLP and LCoS.
CRT-based technologies use scan lines so they do not have a native resolution but they do have a
maximum resolution.
Keep in mind that some displays do not accept their native resolution.
The following is an example of specications from an LCD TV:
Diagonal Screen Size (inches) 32
Display Capability 480p/720p/1080i
Aspect Ratio 16:9 (Widescreen)
Resolution (Number of Pixels) 1280 x 768 (1,049,088 pixels)
The native resolution of this display is 1280x768, which an iScan VP50 can output, but this display is
only capable of accepting 480p, 720p, or 1080i signals. For this display, the best output resolution to
choose on the iScan VP50 is 720p, since it is the closest to the native resolution of this display.
An example of the specications from a CRT-based rear projection display is shown below:
Diagonal Screen Size (inches): 53
Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (Widescreen)
CRT Type: 7” Diagonal
HDTV Compatibility: 540p/1080i
This display only displays two resolutions, both of which the iScan VP50 can output. To nd out which
one looks best on your display use familiar material, like a favorite DVD, to compare to nd out which
resolution is more to your liking on your display.
