• VIDEO ADJUST
This is where you sets up the video adjustments for each input. You have five choices: COLOR, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST,
SHARPNESS and OSD DEPTH. Please note that the COLOR, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST AND SHRPNESS are all set to a
neutral position (meaning they neither boost or cut) as default from the factory. If the UMC-1 is set to Pass Through
you cannot adjust the OSD depth. The UMC-1 will use the OSD Depth that you set before you set it to Pass Through
*The OSD Depth control allows you to adjust the transparency of the OSD Menu. When set to 0 the OSD will be fully
opaque and you will not see any video through the OSD. When set to 10 (which is maximum transparency) the OSD
will only be slightly visible over the live video.
• DEEP COLOR
DEEP COLOR is an enhanced video feature which allows for additional color information to be sent to your monitor or
projector. This additional information is sent at a rate of 12 bit where most standard and HD video is at 8 or 10 bit. The
DEEP COLOR option is normally set to auto, where the UMC-1 will "talk" to your source unit and monitor and if both are
DEEP COLOR compliant, it will send the additional information through. If either are not DEEP COLOR complaint, then
the UMC-1 will automatically disable this feature. Should you wish to manually turn off this feature, simply select it in
the menu and then turn it off.
• POPUP OSD
The POPUP OSD is a small box that will appear at the bottom your screen to give you status information of incoming
signals, output formats, etc. Should you wish to disable this info box, simply select it in the menu and turn it off. Please
note that even when disabled, the volume bar will always be seen.
• ADVANCED PLAYBACK
The ADVANCED PLAYBACK menu allows you to set a preferred output format for an incoming stream. By input this
allows you to pre-select a specific way you want the UMC-1 to process each type of incoming signal. For example, let us
say you have a 7.1 system and when you are watching a movie, everything is great. However, when a commercial
comes on, it only plays in the front main speakers but you want it to play in all the speakers. To accomplish this all you
need to do in the ADVANCED PLAYBACK menu is scroll through all the 2 channel formats and select Dolby PLIIx or DTS
NEO-6 (whichever you prefer). What will then happen is every time the UMC-1 sees a 2 channel signal from your
source; it will play in the format you selected. Below is a list of the different incoming stream types and with each type
is a list of the allowed playback formats.
For instance, if an analog audio source is recognized by the UMC-1 you have five choices; Stereo, Direct, DSP, PLIIx and
NEO:6. If you set this to Direct, every time you are on this input and the UMC-1 recognizes an analog source the UMC-1
will automatically be set to direct. Each audio mode can have different presets.
Direct mode bypasses all DSP, Tone and Bass management circuits. It is stereo only and offers the shortest signal path
through the UMC-1. Only the front left and right speakers are engaged. When using this mode it is recommended that
your front right and left speakers be set to large.
The DSP, PLIIx and Neo:6 modes have different selections of sound processing that you can choose. They
