1. When cropping, Left/Top position, Width, and Height are calculated based on module’s input display
size. The value for Width and Height must be greater than 20% of the panel width and the panel
height.
For example, if the module’s input display timing is 1280×1024 @ 60Hz, then the panel width is
1280 and the panel height is 1024. The cropped window size must be greater than 256 (20% of
1280) × 204 (20% of 1024).
2. Depending on the display resolution, a minimal change in the cropping parameters (Left/Top/Width/
Height) may not produce any noticeable effect.
3. It is highly recommended to set the displayed image to fill up the monitor’s whole screen (use your
monitor’s built-in display settings to fill the entire screen) to prevent black bar(s) from appearing after
cropping.
Step 2. Click the Send to C-HSS button to send the cropped image back to the Pacific C-HSS for it to
be displayed on the output monitor via the SDI OUT connector.
Image scaling methods may differ per different graphics cards in the market, causing a pixel or more to be
left on the screen (residue from the 4 green corners). Adjust the value of Left/Top/Width/Height, and then
click the Set button to fine-tune the display area for the residue to disappear.
Automatically selects a window or object to be cropped by clicking and dragging the
crosshair button onto the desired window/object to be cropped.
Notice how the mouse cursor has become a crosshair. As you continue to hold the
mouse button and move around the screen, 4 green corners and a violet rectangle
will surround the edge of the selected window/object. When the desired window has
been selected, release the left mouse button.
To do another screen crop, perform these steps once again.
To discard the area selected, click the Disable Crop button.
Step 3. Click the Disconnect button or close the ScreenCrop utility to disconnect the computer from the
Pacific C-HSS/C-SHS.
1. Upon quitting ScreenCrop utility, the parameters (Left/Top/Width/Height) from the last crop were
stored through the Saved to Flash button or the Send to C-HSS button, and will be automatically
shown upon the utility's next start-up.
2. If the current screen resolution is different than the last resolution, then the parameters for cropping will
need to be re-adjusted based on the new resolution upon restarting the ScreenCrop utility.
