3.3 Manual Selection and Adjustments

3.3.1 Selecting the Picture

3.3.1.1 Auto or Manual Mode Selection

Sometimes the automatic mode selection doesn’t get it right. If this happens, you can force the mode

manually. This works for Analog RGB sources only.

Auto mode selection

•Press

SETUP to make the Bay Cat automatically

readjust itself to the current picture.

•Press

SOURCE to make the Bay Cat look for the

next connector with a valid signal.

There are potential problems with any automatic sys-

tem. Sometimes you may switch to another analog

RGB source that is very close to the previous one. Bay

Cat may not detect the difference and use the old

mode.

Manual mode selection

If the Bay Cat has trouble with an analog RGB

source, try forcing the mode manually.

 Forcing the mode works only with RGB sources that

have H&V sync. It does not work with composite sync

or sync on green.

First, you must know the mode of the analog RGB

source. Look up this mode in the table, opposite, and

open the Force Analog Mode menu.

1. In the menu, be sure Enable Force Mode is not

checked.

2. Select the Select Mode Number line and use the

+ \ – keys to choose the mode number found in

the table. (See Analog RGB Modes table on

page 94.)

 The resolution and vertical refresh rate show in the

menu in the current resolution, not the resolution of the

mode number. These numbers do not change until you

check Enable Force Mode.

3. Arrow down and press ENTER to force the Bay Cat

to use this mode.

Bay Cat will use this forced mode for all analog RGB

sources until this line is unchecked. When

unchecked, the automatic system will start again.
