Syntax
Parameters
DACG <mask>
Where mask is an 8 bit value.
Each bit corresponds to a
channel with the first bit (bit 0)
associated with channel 1, bit 1
for channel 2 and so on to bit 7
corresponding to channel 8.
The bit position values are:
Bit 0 – Ch 1 = 1
Bit 1 – Ch 2 = 2
Bit 2 – Ch 3 = 4
Bit 3 – Ch 4 = 8
Bit 4 – Ch 5 = 16
Bit 5 – Ch 6 = 32
Bit 6 – Ch 7 = 64
Bit 7 – Ch 8 = 128
You can enable multiple
channels.
Where sampling is one of:
DVSM
<sampling>
0 – RGB (4:4:4)
DVSM?
2 – YCbCr (4:2:2)
4 - YCbCr (4:4:4)
DVST<type>
Where type is one of:
DVST?
10 – RGB
14 – YCbCr
DVQM <mode>
Where range is one of:
DVQM?
0 – 0-255 (8 bit)
1 – 1-254 (8 bit)
2 – 16-235 (8 bit RGB
