Creating a New Display Format (Output Mode)

One issue encountered when using graphic sources with VN-Matrix encoders and decoders
is that the encoder often produces a loop-through image stating it has detected a valid input
mode, but the decoder displays a splash screen stating "No Matching Output Mode."
Use the following procedure to create a custom display format (output mode) that is
automatically selected by the decoder when it sees a corresponding input mode.
NOTE: Before starting this procedure, there must be an active input source connected
