3.0 SETUP
3.1 Initial Set-Up
Once you have installed the Master Three into your system, you must properly configure it for the display device
being driven. The Master Three is shipped from the factory with the following preset default settings:
•Input Select is set to AUTO, to automatically detect an active input in a pre-configured priority.
•The Digital Video output is selected with RGB 4:4:4 color space
•The output format is set to SMPTE 274M, 1080p@50Hz or 1080p@60Hz according to the active source refresh
rate.

DVD Player/DVD Recorder
 Note:
If you have a display with an HDMI/DVI input, CineVERSUM recommends you use the DVI/HDMI output of your
DVD player with the player’s output resolution set to the lowest output resolution (preferably 480i). If you have a
display with only component or RGBHV inputs, use either an SDI or component video connection. SDI outputs
typically need to be added to your DVD player. This gives the additional benefit of skipping an extra digital-to-analog
(D-to-A) and analog-to-digital (A-to-D) step for a picture with even more detail then a component connection. With a
component connection, set the player’s output to 480i, minimizing the amount of processing done in the player.

3.2 Audio Operation
The Master Three features an audio delay function to exactly match the video delay incurred by the video
processing. It accepts four discrete digital audio inputs: two coaxial (Audio 1, 2) and two optical (Audio 3 and 4), one
analog audio input and four HDMI audio inputs.
The locations of the audio inputs are shown on the back panel diagrams earlier in this product guide.
The factory default audio assignment is as follows:
•Audio 1 (optical): none
•Audio 2 (optical): none
•Audio 3 (coaxial): none
•Audio 4 (coaxial): none
•Stereo (analog): none 
 Note:
The HDMI audio inputs can only be assigned to the same HDMI video input although any of the other audio inputs
can be assigned to any of the HDMI video inputs.You can assign a Digital Audio input to each Video input in the
following manner:
You can assign an audio input to each Video input in the following manner:
1) Select a video input on the remote control.
2) Select Audio 1, 2, 3, 4, Stereo, HDMI or Off from the ‘Input Adjust/Audio Input’ menu.
If an analog video input is selected, the HDMI option will not be available.

4.1 Input Select
There are twelve available inputs on the Master Three:
•VIDEO 1 Video 1 (Composite)
•VIDEO 2 Video 2 (Composite)
•S-VIDEO 1 S-Video 1
•S-VIDEO 2 S-Video 2
•COMPONENT 1 Component/RGBs 1

•HDMI 1 HDMI 1
•HDMI 2 HDMI 2
•HDMI 3 HDMI 3
•HDMI 4 HDMI 4
•AUTO Automatic active input detection and selection
•SDI SD-SDI (SDI Video Input Module required)
These inputs can be accessed in five different ways:
•Using the front panel using the Left and Right buttons
•Using the remote control with the direct access buttons
•Using a universal remote programmed with the discrete codes
•Using the OSD from the front panel or from the remote to access the Input Select menu
•Using RS232 Serial Automation Protocol described in the appendix.
4.2 Input Aspect Ratio Control
The Input Aspect Ratio control selects the aspect ratio for the current input signal. The Master Three automatically
converts from the selected input aspect ratio to the selected output aspect ratio.
Push the Aspect button once to show the current input aspect ratio control function. To cycle through the available
functions, push the Aspect button repeatedly.
For the Input AR function, push the Up or Down button once to show the current setting. Push either of these
buttons again to cycle through the available aspect ratios. Push the Exit button to exit the menu and go back to the
Input Aspect Ratio selection.
For the Zoom, Pan and Borders functions, push the Up or Down button to select the two control settings available:
horizontal and vertical. Push the Enter button to adjust each setting.
•Push Up and Down to increase or decrease the setting.
•Push Exit again to exit this mode.
Video input signals are usually classified in the following two ways:
•Frame Aspect Ratio
•Active Input Aspect Ratio
Note:
The Zoom and Pan functions are applied to the input signal, not the output. This is an important consideration,
especially for the Pan function. For example: If you do not zoom a full frame image more than 100%, there is nothing
to pan. However, if part of the image is not on the screen, then the Pan function will work.
The Master Three’s menu is exit automatically after 30 seconds of no user interaction.

Frame Aspect Ratio
Frame Aspect Ratio (FAR) consists of two possible ratios: 4:3 or 16:9. DVD discs encoded in a 16:9 frame are
sometimes referred to as anamorphic or enhanced for widescreen TV’s. For example, a non-anamorphic
widescreen DVD has a FAR of 4:3.
Active Aspect Ratio
Active Aspect Ratio (AAR) is the aspect ratio of the image or content (movie). This content is typically stated on the
back cover of DVD discs. Some common active aspect ratios are as follows:
•1.33:1 (4:3)
•1.55:1
•1.66:1
•1.78:1 (16:9)
•1.85:1
•2.35:1 (Cinemascope)
To use aspect ratio’s in addition to these, the Master Three provides the option to choose a custom aspect ratio
called User with a range of 1.01:1-3.00:1.
Master Three Image Mapping
The situation when the Frame Aspect Ratio (FAR) is the same as the Active Aspect Ratio (AAR) is sometimes
called Full Frame. This situation is illustrated below.
The Master Three maps the AAR to the Output Aspect Ratio (OAR) in the following three ways:
•When the AAR is greater than OAR, the Master Three puts up Borders at the top and bottom as shown below:
•When the AAR is less than the OAR, the Master Three puts up Borders on the left and right as shown below:
Borders Active Input Area
Borders Active Input
Area 
						

							4.0  MENU OPTIONS
20 R599751 - Master Three User Manual
•When the AAR is equal to the OAR (Output Aspect Ratio), the Master Three supplies no border as shown below.
Panorama
The Panorama feature is a non-linear stretch that can be applied only to a 4:3 video source. The panorama
stretches the picture with minimal perceptual distortion in the center of the screen. This mode can be turned ‘On’ or
‘Off’. Additionally this feature can be accessed in the IAR presets and it is titled ‘4:3 Stretch’.
Zoom
The Zoom function zooms in on or magnifies the image on your display. The minimum zoom is 100%, (no zooming);
the maximum zoom is 150% (zoom magnification factor of 1.5X).
•Horizontal Zoom Control: Push the Enter button to show the current Zoom setting. Push the Up and Down
button to increase or decrease the zooming factor.
•Vertical Zoom Control: Push the Enter button to show the current Zoom setting. Push the Up and Down button to
increase or decrease the zooming factor.
Pan
The Pan function allows the image to be shifted up, down, left and right. Note that the Pan function can only be used
after the image has been zoomed to any value greater than 100%.
•Horizontal Pan Control: Push the Enter button to show the current Pan setting. Push the Up button to pan to the
right. Push the Down button to pan to the left.
•Vertical Pan Control: Push the Enter button to show the current Pan setting. Push the Up button to pan up. Push
the Down button to pan the image down.
Borders
The Borders function allows you to add horizontal and/or vertical borders around the image. These borders obscure
part of the input image. Certain input-to-output aspect ratios already result in left/right or top/bottom border being
added. This control allows the system-generated borders to be extended, or for borders to be added when none
exist. As the borders are adjusted (see below) theMaster Three temporarily increases the gray level of the borders
so that they are visible during the adjustment process. The level will return to normal after the adjustment has
ceased.
•Horizontal Border Control: Push the Up button to move the left and right borders towards the middle of the
image, increasing the border width and cutting off the sides of the input image. Push the Down button to move
the left and right borders away from the image and decreases their width. If there are system-generated left/right
borders already present (for example, when the input aspect ratio is 4:3 and the output aspect ratio is 16:9), the
border width cannot be decreased beyond the base width created by the aspect ratio conversion.
•Vertical Border Control: Push the Up button to move the top and bottom borders towards the middle of the
image, increasing the border height and cutting off the sides of the input image. Push the Down button to move
the top and bottom borders away from the image and decrease their height. If there are system-generated top/
bottom borders already present (for example, when the input aspect ratio is 16:9 and the output aspect ratio is
4:3), the border height cannot be decreased beyond the base height created by the aspect ratio conversion.
Borders are automatically added by the system when the Active Input Aspect Ratio is not the same as the Output
Aspect Ratio as explained earlier in this guide. However you can add more borders using the Borders menu.
Presets
You can specify the Input Aspect Ratio by using the Presets or Manually.
