Introduction The front panel displays information via a 4 line by 40 character display. All data entry is via four direction keys, a Select/Enter key and a Menu/Escape key. Certain adjustments take time for the unit to complete; this will be indicated by the display showing Busy at the top of the screen. Further adjustments should not be attempted while the screen is showing Busy. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll to the parameter you need to adjust. Then press the Select/Enter key to enable you to then adjust the parameter. Use the Up/Down or Left/Right keys to adjust the parameter to the required value. Press the Select/Enter key again when the parameter has been adjusted to the required value. Some adjustments take effect immediately, but others do not take effect until the Select/Enter key is pressed for a second time. The changed settings are saved into non-volatile memory when the Select/Enter key is pressed for the second time. Some adjustments are not applicable to all signal types or operating modes, in which case those non- applicable functions will not be accessible via the menus. The four keys under the display are user definable hotkeys for seamless input switching. Key definition is performed by allocating the correct key number to the desired input channel in the Input Channel Config section of the Miscellaneous menu. The LCD display shows the input channel allocated to each key, the illumination color of the key shows which input is presently selected. 4.3. Start-up Screen The start-up screen shows the currently selected input signal and output resolution. It also shows the input currently allocated to each of the input select buttons. 4.4. Main Menu The main menu lists the 6 sub menus. Input Select, Input Adjust, PIP, Output Settings, Information and Miscellaneous. To set up your VIP 3000 it is recommended that you follow this procedure: Choose the correct output mode and parameters to suit your projector or display device. Select the correct input signal. Set the input levels and features appropriately to optimize the appearance of your image. Set any other parameters to suit your application. Note: All Input parameters are specific to your chosen input channel and input signal type, they are not global to the unit. All Output and Miscellaneous parameters are global 4.5. Input Select The list of available inputs can be scrolled through using the Up and Down arrows. The new input is not selected until the Select/Enter key is pressed again. The list of inputs are:- Analog, DVI, HDMI, S-Video 1, S-Video 2, Component 1, Component 2, CVBS 1, CVBS 2 and HDSDI. Test patterns can be generated by VIP 3000 without needing an input connected. W hen Test Pattern is selected as the input, the required test pattern can be chosen from the Input Channel Config section of the Miscellaneous menu. NB: Some complex test patterns can take many seconds to draw, during which time the screen will be blank and the LCD will indicate “Busy”. This is not a fault.

Input Adjust This menu contains adjustments associated with setting up inputs to the unit. Use the Up and Down arrows to scroll to the required sub-menu and press the Select/Enter key to enter the sub-menu. The following sections list the sub-menus. 4.6.1. Input Levels This menu contains parameters related to the level and color of the input signal. Contrast Control of video gain Black Level Control of background level Black Level IRE Used to select 7.5IRE black level set-up adjustment. Should always be ON for HDMI video inputs and should usually be off for analog video inputs. Saturation and Hue Control of video saturation and hue – applies to all video inputs but not computer input signals or formats. Input Color temperature To select the color temperature of the incoming material. Options are 5500K, 6500K, 7500K & 9300K and Custom Custom Color Temperature This is a user-defined color temperature setting whereby individual R,G,B gain and offset can be set so as to accurately calibrate a particular input/source to the display device. Once the custom mode has been set up here it can be selected from the Input Color Temperature menu. Input gamma mode Set this value to match the native gamma of the input signal. Input gamma and output gamma both default to 2.2. If they are both set to the same value, there is no effect on the image. 4.6.2. Clock/Position For analog graphics inputs only, clock auto fit can be selected to automatically adjust the frequency and phase of the sampling clock. This automatic adjustment is strongly recommended. The clock phase and frequency can also be adjusted manually if needed. 4.6.3. Pan/Zoom/Tilt By using the zoom and pan controls a part of the input can be selected and used to fill the display window. Please note it is not possible to pan unless the zoom has been set to a non-zero value.

Input Capture Overscan Select the amount of overscan. Analog video inputs default to 2.5% overscan, digital inputs and computer inputs default to 0%. Maximum overscan is 10%, minimum is 0%. Input Window Shift Allows horizontal and vertical adjustment of the captured active image area within the overall display resolution. Note: The range of position adjustment available is limited by the characteristics of the signal timings from the image source equipment: in some circumstances adjustment may not be possible, particularly with HDMI/DVI signals. Changes in output image position (to correct for alignment errors or image positioning errors on the display device) should be effected via the W indow edge adjustment for LED screens, or the W arp corner-adjustment menu or the image position controls on the output menu for projectors, plasmas and LCDs. The input window shift function should only ever be used to correct input capture discrepancies. 4.6.5. Input Features The input feature menu provides three image enhancement functions. Note that the enhancement settings apply to video input signals only, not computer graphics signals. Sharpness Control of the sharpening enhancement filters levels. These are peaking filters to improve high- frequency response. Note that setting this control too high on a signal which already has good high frequency response will cause ringing or ghosting. Unsharp Mask This is a very powerful function which performs a per-pixel unsharp mask on the image content. It can be used to greatly improve detail definition and clarity without causing image ringing or ghosting. It improves both horizontal and vertical detail. Correct setting of the Unsharp Mask filter can make SD signals look virtually indistinguishable from true HD. Detail Enhance Provides an additional level of detail enhancement beyond that provided by the Unsharp Mask Contrast Enhance Preconfigured contrast enhancements which can be selected to suit the display operating environment and the subject material being viewed. 4.6.6. Aspect Ratio Select from Normal, Full Screen, Crop, Anamorphic, Flex W ide and custom aspect ratio. Note that some aspect ratios may not be applicable to all signal types, in which case selecting a non-applicable aspect ratio conversion will have no effect on the displayed image. 4.6.7. Filters A submenu containing selection options for many image clean-up filters (for video inputs only) including: CCS Cross Chrominance Suppression filter (reduction of chroma-crawl) – SD only CUE Chroma Up sampling Error correction filter ICP Interlace Chroma Problem filter - Reduces chroma interlace errors on diagonals and curves TNR Temporal Noise Reduction (removes electronic noise found on broadcasts, film material and particularly noticeable on LED and plasma screens) MPEG Selects whether MPEG spider and block noise is on or off and adjusts the level of MPEG noise reduction for SD signals. Not applicable to HD formats – use TNR for removal of all types of noise from HD formats.
