    10.19 Interleaved Image If the captured image has a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels or greater, it may appear repeated within the Capture window as below. To correct this image, it must be properly interleaved. Complete the following steps: Figure 10.19.1 - Interleaved capture Click the Sizing tab to open the Sizing page.
  • Page 75 Click the Interleaved checkbox to activate Interleaved mode. If step 5 causes a prompt to increase the height of the image, click Yes (in most cases the image height will be too small). Zoom into the image. If the image does not look correct, adjust Line 1 Start one value at a time until it looks correct.

  • Page 76: Recalibration

    10.20 Recalibration Once the image has been captured (or adjusted in the case of an interlaced image), it must be checked to ensure a proper capture that fills the Capture window but keeps all 4 image sides (edges) visible in the window. Check the aspect ratio by looking for a skewed circle.
  • Page 77 First, locate a circle in the radar image in the Capture window. A Variable Range Marker (VRM) or range ring, available on most radar images, provides effective circles for assessing recalibration. If the image requires recalibration the ring will appear more oval than round. In that case it is necessary to recalibrate the image by setting the proper aspect ratio.
  • Page 78 Note: With many radar images, it may be difficult to determine the true upper left corner of the captured image. The installer may have to adjust the image’s position several times to ensure it is as close as possible to the top left corner without losing any part of the image.

  • Page 80: Sharpness

    10.22 Sharpness The Sharpness section of the Adjustments page holds three scroll boxes to adjust the Phase, charge pump (CPMP), and the voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO). 10.22.1 Phase Once the image position is adjusted, is may still display pixilation (visible noise), banding, and/or soft edges.

    Save the file. Click the Load <VidChanX.ini> file. Choose the <VidChanX.ini >file which was altered and saved in Step 5 above. The above procedure provides an image in the Video Config Suite application that can be properly configured in accordance with paragraph ‘Video Configuration Suite (VCS2) Application’.
