■ Pixel-to-Pixel Mode

Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode.

This mode bypasses the monitor's internal scaling function and displays images in their native resolution and aspect ratio, with a one-to-one mapping of incoming image pixels to screen pixels:

- For incoming formats smaller than the native resolution of the screen (or selected aspect ratio), the image will be displayed in the center of the screen using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, 720p images will occupy exactly 1280x720 pixels in the center of the screen. The surrounding screen area will be black.

■ Aspect Ratio Settings

Use this menu option to switch between several aspect ratio settings.

As the V-R1041-IMD-3G monitor has a native resolution of 1366x768 RGB pixels, incoming images are automatically scaled to fit the screen:

In 4:3 mode, images are scaled up or down to fill the maximum 4:3 portion of the screen. IMD text and time code are superimposed on the lower portion of the image. The audio presence indicator and on-screen tally are displayed at the bottom of the screen, outside the image.
In Scaled 4:3 mode, images are scaled to a smaller 4:3 portion of the screen, leaving space for IMD text, tally, and audio presence indicator to be displayed below or around the image. Time code is superimposed on the lower portion of the image.
- In Scaled 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion at the top of the screen. In this mode, IMD text and on-screen tally are displayed below the image. Time code and the audio presence indicator are superimposed on the lower portion of the image.
• In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the entire 16:9 screen. In this mode, all OSD features are superimposed on the image. Note that when using a 16:9 input image in this mode, the image will be vertically stretched by approximately 10%.

The diagrams on the following page show how IMD text, timecode, and the audio monitor icon are simultaneously displayed on the screen in each aspect ratio setting. The white area represents the video image.

Scaled 16:9 16:9

■ Curtain Color

Use this setting to choose the default color displayed on the screen when no video input is present. Available colors are blue, red, green, white, and black.

■ Sharpness

Sharpness is a type of edge enhancement that can be applied to incoming video signals. Use this setting to increase or decrease the amount of enhancement applied to the image. A value of 000 will make edges appear soft, and a value of 006 will cause edges to be enhanced. The default value is 003. Note: Values higher than 003 will sometimes cause artifacts to appear on the screen if the image includes many natural edges.

Use the Film Mode setting to limit the film mode detection to a specific cadence.

• Auto Deinterlacer automatically identifies the film cadence
2:2 only Deinterlacer only recognizes content originating in 25fps, and uses 2:2 film mode. 24fps content is
ignored
3:2 only Deinterlacer only recognizes content originating in 24fps, and uses 3:2 film mode. 25fps content is ignored.

■ Film Indicator

Use the Film Indicator setting to enable or disable the film mode detection icon. If the Film Indicator is set to On, a green square will appear in the top left corner of the screen whenever a film cadence is detected. The Film indicator can only be turned on only when the Deinterlacer Mode is set to Auto. It is normal for the Film Indicator to sporadically turn on and off, depending on the content.

■ Motion Display

Use the Motion Display options to display inter-field motion as false color [green] on the screen. This feature is used to visualize how the deinterlacer is detecting motion in the content. It is normal for the screen to show large portions of green when viewing moving images.

• Off Motion Display is off.
  • Noise Pixels which change value between fields are displayed as green.
  • Motion After a noise reduction filter, pixels which change value between fields are displayed as green.

OSD CONFIGURATION SUBMENU

Use the OSD Configuration submenu to select a variety of information to be displayed on the screen.

DEINTERLACER SUBMENU

Use the Deinterlacer submenu to control the type of deinterlacing performed on interlaced input signals.

System Configuration Submenu

■ Deinterlacer Mode

Use the Deinterlacer Mode option to set the type of deinterlacing algorithm used:

• In Auto mode, the deinterlacer defaults to Motion Adaptive mode (see below), but uses Film Mode (see below) whenever a film cadence is detected. This is the optimum deinterlacing mode for best picture quality and should be used whenever possible.
• In Motion Adaptive mode, the image processor uses a motion adaptive de-interlacing algorithm. Film cadence detection is disabled. Motion adaptive interlacing uses a variety of real-time algorithms to perform the best possible deinterlacing based on the content.
• In Field to Frame, each incoming field is scaled to a full progressive frame by the scaler. It is normal for the image to appear vertically "bouncy" or as shaking.
• In Interpolate (Bob) mode, each field is scaled to a full progressive frame by interpolating the missing lines from the adjacent lines. It is normal for the image to appear vertically "bouncy" or as shaking.
• In Static Mesh (Weave) mode, the Deinterlacer combines or "weaves" each pair of fields into a progressive frame. It is normal to see jagged artifacts on fast-moving edges.

■ Film Mode

Film mode uses specialized algorithms to correctly deinterlace content that originated in either 24fps or 25fps. Film Mode is automatically entered whenever a film-to-video cadence is detected in the content. Film cadence detection is active whenever the Deinterlace Mode is set to Auto.

COLOR CONFIGURATION SUBMENU

Use the Color Configuration submenu to adjust the color temperature of the display.

Color Configuration Submenu

■ Ctemp/Gamma

Use this setting to choose one of three color temperature / gamma presets:

D55 (5500K)
• D65 (6500K)
• D93 (9300K)
- Linear (No gamma applied)

■ Red, Green, and Blue Offset

Use the offset controls for red, green, and blue to adjust the color temperature of the display. Each setting adjusts the offset, or brightness, of each individual color component. These settings will affect whichever color temperature preset is selected.

■ Red, Green, and Blue Gain

Use the gain controls for red, green, and blue to adjust the color temperature of the display. Each setting adjusts the gain, or contrast, of each individual color component. These settings will affect whichever color temperature preset is selected.

Use this setting to Delete any custom Gamma tables that have been loaded to the monitor's memory. Note: Once a setting is Deleted, it cannot be recovered from the monitor.

Use the System Configuration submenu to control various system parameters.
