ENABLE DECODER AGC – The “automatic gain control” affects decoded video images
only. Enter a checkmark (default) for most decoded video sources—this activates the
AGC circuit to ensure properly bright images. Delete the checkmark if a decoded
video image exhibits strange color artifacts such as stripes in highly saturated colors,
indicating an incompatibility between this source and the AGC.

enter a checkmark in the Peak Detector checkbox. NOTE: The “Peak Detector”
will initially render the grayscale as a uniform gray field before adjustment.
2) Display one primary color (use Color Enable to select).

single band of black appears at one edge of the screen. This band...

5) ADVANCED 10-BIT (ADP): Uses 10-bit processing instead of the standard 8-bit
processing provided in the projector, resulting in smoother and clearer details in
video images. This feature requires installation of optional internal hardware—
the Advanced Digital Processing Module—and is disabled unless this module is
present. It activates full source-to-screen 10-bit processing for a digital video
source, typically connected via the optional Serial Digital Input...

FREEZE IMAGE — Enter a check mark to freeze (stop) an image at a single frame.
This diagnostic tool is useful if you need to examine in detail a still version of the
incoming image that cannot be “frozen” at the source. For example, in moving
images it is sometimes difficult to observe artifacts such as external
deinterlacing/resizing and signal noise. Remove the checkmark to return back to
normal.
