Memory: What Is Saved? And Where - Planar GX40 User Manual

3.5.4 Memory: What Is Saved? And Where?

In the GX40 some parameters (values) are associated with
the mode. The mode is primarily the horizontal and vertical
resolution and the vertical frequency of the incoming
source picture. It is more than this, but if you think of it this
way, you will be close enough.
Some parameters are associated with the input. The
input in this instance means the input connector: Analog 1,
Composite Video, etc.
✎
The parameters specific to Mode and Input are
saved in memory slots.
Some parameters are global, that is, they are not associ-
ated with either the mode or the input connector, and are
not saved to memory slots. They are universal.

Memory
The GX40 remembers the last 10 modes it received and
all the mode parameters associated with them.
Switching modes
For instance, suppose you set up the Black and White
Levels for a 1024x768 @ 65Hz vertical from a computer
connected to Analog. Then later, using the same input con-
nector but a different computer you set up the GX40 for a
1600x1200 @ 60Hz. You re-adjust the Black and White
Levels, because they are different.
Still later you plug in the first computer with its
1024x768 @ 65Hz picture. Immediately, the GX40 recog-
nizes that it has seen this signal type before, and it recalls
the Black and White Levels from its internal memory.
It does not Do Frequency or Phase or anything else,
because it recognizes that this input was used before, and
the previous settings are probably correct.
Possible issue with Mode specific memory
Suppose that after setting up the 1024x768 and
1600x1200 pictures, you connect a third computer that is
