Table 11 – Additional HDMI Settings Fields
FIELD DESCRIPTION
Additional HDMI Settings
The Additional HDMI Settings option is available whenever an
HDMI connection is in place.
Selecting this option will present a new menu screen with settings
specific to the HDMI connection, for example DVI/HDMI mode,
Color Space, Audio Output, and Lip Sync settings.
HDMI/DVI Mode
The HDMI/DVI Mode setting allows you to optimize the
HDMI output to work with both DVI-equipped televisions and
HDMI-equipped televisions.
By default, this option is set to HDMI. The options are used
as follows:
HDMI — The VMS1100 is optimized to work with an HDMI
television or home theater receiver.
DVI — The VMS1100 is optimized to work with a DVI
television or display device (connected via an HDMI-to-DVI
adapter).
Color Space
The Color Space setting allows you to adjust the color space used
by the VMS
1100 to generate the video signals on the HDMI output.
By default, this option is set to YCC 4:4:4. The options are used as
follows:
YCC 4:4:4 — The VMS1100 will generate video signals within the
YCC color space.
RGB — The VMS1100 will generate video signals within the RGB
color space.
Note: Adjusting these settings could result in a loss of video. Only
a professional installer or someone with a good working knowledge
of the color spaces supported by the TV should change this setting.
Audio Output
The Audio Output setting allows you to specify the digital audio
format delivered over the HDMI output by the VMS1100.
The options are used as follows:
Auto (default) —The VMS1100 will provide the digital audio format
specified by the connected device (TV or home theater receiver)
when that device was first connected to the VMS1100.
L-PCM — The VMS1100 will provide all audio in the Linear Pulse
Code Modulation digital audio format. The L-PCM format is widely
supported by most HDMI televisions and home theater receivers.
Pass-Through — The VMS1100 will provide the same digital
audio format on the HDMI output as is provided with the program
being viewed at that time. For example, if the program has a Dolby
Digital soundtrack, the VMS1100 will pass the Dolby Digital audio
to the HDMI output. This option is most useful when connecting the
VMS1100 to a home theater receiver that has HDMI switching
capability.
Note: Adjusting these settings could result in a loss of audio. Only
a professional installer or someone with a good working knowledge
of the digital audio formats supported by the TV and/or home
theater receiver should change this setting.
