Chapter 3 Image AnyPlace Interface Image Anyplace Operational Modes The Image AnyPlace unit has two modes of operation: Operate and Setup. You can select either of these modes of operation via the front panel interface or the RS232 control interface. Operate Mode In Operate mode, the video output signals are activated and you may control all the Image AnyPlace parameters (except for Setup restricted parameters) from the front panel, IR remote control, or serial communication commands.

MKT-0012-GUD-1.004 last changed on 8/27/04 14:57 Image AnyPlace Interface Image AnyPlace Setup You can only adjust the Setup Mode parameters by front panel control (except for the selection of Output Resolution which may be controlled by both front panel control and serial communication control). To select the Setup mode parameters, press the Menu button on the front panel control. Up and down arrows now cycle between the Setup Mode parameters.

Chapter 4 On-Screen Display OSD Menu Structure The On-Screen Display (OSD) menu is the primary way of controlling and selecting functions in the Image AnyPlace system. The Image AnyPlace system is initially in a factory default state. Many Image AnyPlace control parameters can be saved to Image AnyPlace memory and retained for use in later sessions. Performing a factory reset erases these saved parameters and returns the system to the default state.

The HD Video/Zoom IN/Throw(-) button has three functions, depending upon the mode the IA-100 is in. This button is a fast key to the OSD input selection menu in all modes except for the magnify and AnyPlace keystone mode. The button is used to decrement the throw ratio in AnyPlace Keystone mode and to Zoom into the image in Geometry/Magnify mode.

Chapter 5 Loading Firmware Introduction This chapter describes the firmware update procedure for the Image AnyPlace system using the PC Loader. PC Loader is the software program that controls the firmware update process—you can obtain by e-mail new features that become available and you can download them onto Image AnyPlace. The download procedure takes about 5 minutes and prevents you from having to return your unit to the factory for simple upgrades.

Appendix B Rotate Setup Program The purpose of this program is to provide a setup utility for one or more Image Anyplace systems and configure the rotation mode and options to split an image across multiple systems. The intention is to have two (or more) monitors rotated and placed side-by-side for the display. Each monitor is driven by its own Image Anyplace system.

Although the most common situation is likely to be three displays, the image can be split across 1 to 4 displays as shown. Display configuration: These buttons provide "one button" setup of the box to the desired configuration.

The Control Zones are thus defined by the Control Intervals. Within each zone, a different set of data is used to generate Warp Maps based on the position of the Control Vector within the Zone.

Television, however, does not deal with video in terms of frames. Instead, it displays a video using half-frames, called fields. Each frame contains exactly two fields. One field is made up of the odd horizontal lines in a frame. This is called the odd field or the top field since it contains the top line of the image.

It can be used for showing wide screen content such as 16:9 HDTV signals or a letterboxed DVD movie in letterbox mode on a 4:3 display. Multiplexer The multiplexer allows the Image AnyPlace firmware to choose one of two clocks.
