How to.... How to.... Note: This chapter explains briefly how to perform a number of important or complex tasks. For more information about how to use the OSD menus and a more detailed description of all the functions in the OSD, please refer to the corresponding chapters about the OSD menus. How to adjust the display to a new video signal About video timings in the display memory The display contains a list of video timings according to VESA and other video standards.
How to.... The display memory can contain maximum 20 different user presets. When the memory is full, the last user preset is overwritten when a new video signal is adjusted. When Restore Factory Settings from the Advanced menu is selected, all the user settings, including the user presets, are cleared. To adjust the display to a new video signal: a) Digital video signals: Normally a digital video signal (on SDI or DVI-digital input) needs no additional adjustment.
How to.... How to make a PiP setup Setting up picture-in-picture Picture-in-Picture (PiP) is a feature where two different video signals can be displayed next to each other or on top of each other in 2 separate frames. You can adjust the way in which the video signals are displayed and store this in a PiP layout. The display has a number of predefined PiP layouts that can be modified by the user. A PiP layout determines the video input, size, position, scaling and aspect ratio for both PiP frames.
How to.... 7. Select the desired PiP2 input from the list of available video input sources. See also the note below. Note: When selecting the video input for PiP2, some inputs may not be available, depending on the chosen PiP1 input. 8. If you wish to adjust the image in the PiP2 frame, select Toggle PiP. As a consequence, the video signal from PiP2 now becomes PiP1. This is necessary because the functions in the Adjustments menu always affect the image in PiP1 only. 9.
How to.... How to use brightness, contrast and luminance adjustments Although they may seem very similar, there is quite a difference between brightness, contrast and luminance adjustments. • Luminance adjustment leaves the video signal untouched but changes the light intensity of the backlight behind the LCD panel inside the display. • When controlling brightness, all video levels from black to white are adjusted. You should adjust brightness to make the black parts of the image perfectly black.
How to.... How to adjust color temperature The MDSC-1119/MDSC-2124 display contains 3 pre-defined and 1 userdefined color temperatures. You cannot adjust color temperature separately for the 2 picture-in-picture frames. It can be adjusted only for the whole display. To adjust color temperature: 1. Open the OSD and select menu Advanced. 2. Select submenu Color temperature. 3. Select one of the pre-defined color temperatures or select Adjustable or User. 4.
