Language Select allows the user to choose the language used in the menus and control screens. Resolution Notice advises the optimal resolution to use. OSD Position allows the user to move the OSD menus and control screens. OSD Timeout sets the length of time the OSD screen is displayed. For example, with a “15 second”...
4. Circuit Description 4.1 Main Board SCALAR IC--- NT68167FG/D(U401) The NT68167 is a highly integrated flat panel display controller that interfaces analog, digital, and video inputs. It combines a triple ADC, a high quality zoom and shrink engine, a multi-color on screen display (OSD) controller and many other functions in a single chip.

Block Diagram Name Function This pin is to program the frequency of the low frequency timer. By connecting a capacitor to ground to set the OLP delay time. And this pin can be used for latch mode protection. By pulling this pin lower than 0.8 V, the controller will be entered latch mode until the AC power-on recycling.
