About IP Mode
By selecting “MODE1”, you can convert IP through Frame Interpolation.
This unit has reduced the Frame Interpolation delay to 1 field or less, compared to our old models having caused 
1 frame delay or more.
Factory preset setting value is “MODE1” recommended for normal use. Depending on images, in very rare 
cases, noise may occur on the screen. In such a case, “MODE 2” is recommended.
By selecting “MODE2”, you can convert IP through Field Interpolation.
Since MODE2 interpolates only within each Field, it is suitable to confirm interlace condition.
Depending on still images, etc., flickers may occur on the screen. In such a case, “MODE1” is recommended.
  WB adjustment mode
   You can adjust “WHITE BALANCE VAR1” - “WHITE BALANCE VAR3” (WB) by selecting “VAR1” - “VAR3” in 
“COLOR TEMP.” in the “VIDEO CONFIG” menu.
The underlined values are factory preset setting values.
