Output boards
In the Resolution list is by default the same setting indicated as in the Resolution list on the Screen tab. For
DVI-DVI digital/analog output cards (output v8, output v9), DVI-DVI digital output cards with scaling (output v12)
and DVI video output cards (output v4) the output resolution can be changed.
Dual resolutions are not available in the resolution list. Settings on the Boards tab refer to
individual outputs.

The DVI-DVI digital/analog output cards and the DVI-DVI digital output cards provide both additional scaling ca-
pabilities for the output. It might be useful to change the output settings, if multiple output cards are used and if
they connect to different display devices, with different resolutions and timings. One output card could then
display the data without re-scaling it, because the settings chosen on the Screen tab provide already the desired
output settings. This means if selecting this card on the Boards tab, the resolution of this card must not be
changed. For the other card, the data needs to be re-scaled, therefore after selecting that card, the appropriate
settings for the connected output device must be chosen from the Resolution list.
On the DVI video output card there are two types of output connectors (DVI and BNC), which are usually con-
nected to devices with different requirements on the data. Therefore for both outputs the resolution has to be
specified.
• If on the Screen Tab a setting suitable for output at the DVI connector has been selected for internal data
processing, then this setting is used for the output on the DVI connector and the Resolution list is not appli-
cable. For the BNC connection the appropriate setting can be selected from the Video list. This is a configura-
tion that is optimized for output at the DVI connector, as the data at the BNC connector has to be re-scaled
before being displayed. The SDI resync checkbox is selected and disabled in this case. This means that at the
DVI output genlock is supported (if Genlock on first source was selected on the Screen tab) but not at the
BNC output.
