Creating a Custom Input Mode
A custom input mode allows you to specify your own values for the various input parameters, e.g.
number of lines/pixels of active video, the start line/pixel of active video, etc.
When VN-MATRIX performs an auto-detect on a non-standard source, it will usually be able to
choose an existing mode that ‘best matches’ the source. This will then provide the starting point for
you to make adjustments and create your custom mode.
However, if VN-MATRIX cannot find a suitable mode, you will need to obtain technical data about the
source to be able to enter the required input parameters.
Custom input modes are created using the Video Setup page (see page 64).
HINT: The Device Status attributes are
the set of measurements used by the auto-
detection mechanism when searching for
the closest Source Format match. If a non-
standard source type is being used a user
derived Source Format can be constructed
on this screen by considering the current
Device Status values.
