There are two 2-volt trigger ports that are designed to supply a combined total of 500ma. RS232 Serial Connection This connection is used as an interface to control the iscan Vp50 with an automation system and to update the software in the iscan Vp50 .
STEP 4 - Connecting Your Sources up to video sources can be connected to the iscan Vp50 use the following suggestions for connecting several popular sources to the iscan SD-DVR/STB –...
Set Top Boxes DirecTV HR10-250 (HD-TiVo) The Hd-TiVo does not allow the user to select one output setting that will always output the right resolutions under the right conditions. For example, when tuned to an SD channel the output resolution should be 480i, but when tuned to an Hd channel the resolution should be 720p (FOX, ABC, ESPN) or 1080i (all other HD channels).
AV receivers are incapable of passing high resolution video signals (1080p). STEP 8 – Display Optimization – Using Display Adjustments The iscan Vp50 has several test patterns to assist in the setup of the display. adjustments should be made on the display, not on the iscan, to correctly setup the iscan and display.
Using RS232 Serial Automation Protocol described in the appendix. Input Aspect Ratio Control The input aspect ratio control selects the aspect ratio for the current input signal. The iscan Vp50 automatically converts from the selected input aspect ratio to the selected output aspect ratio.

480p, 576p, 080p/50 and 080p/60. Turning prep ‘on’ and ‘off’ allows the user to compare the deinterlacing done by the source versus the deinterlacing done by the Vp50 The default for this setting is ‘off’. This is a setting that is saved on a “per input/per format” basis.
-50. The default setting on this control is midrange, 0. Brightness This control adjusts the brightness (black level) of the overall image output from the iScan VP50 if you turn it up too high, it may make black look gray. in general, you should adjust this up until you see the black areas of your display turn gray and then back it down just below that point.
The default setting is ‘normal’. Serial Port Rate The serial port is used by the automation system controllers to control the iscan Vp50 port baud rate defaults to 9200 bps, but can be changed using the The supported baud rates are: •...

a video projector can also be used in conjunction with an anamorphic lens. an anamorphic lens allows the user to focus the maximum resolution and brightness into a specified area, either 16:9 or 2.35:1. The most common configuration is a constant image height (CIH) system with a 16:9 projector, an anamorphic lens and a 2.35:1 screen.

TIP when inactive. The SHEILD will never carry the +12vdc supply signal. To ensure that damage is not caused, please check the manual of the device that you intend on connecting to the Vp50 before inserting the trigger plug into the jack.
Trigger #1 is powered on when the iscan Vp50 is powered on. Trigger #1 is powered off when the iscan Vp50 is put into standby mode. This can be useful for powering on a display or motorizing a screen or lift.
