  • Page 45: Input Blanking Adjustment

    If the horizontal blanking adjustment is set to less than the amount of actual blanking, the IN1404XT starts scaling the input before the start of the active image. This early scaling results in a blank border on the left side and cropping on the right side, and looks as if the image is shifted to the right.

  • Page 46: Active Area Adjustment

    If the number of active image pixels that the scaler is set to scale are less than the amount of actual active pixels that are input, the IN1404XT only scales the set active area and will skip some of the input pixels. This early end to the scaling process results in an output with fewer pixels than it should, and looks as if the image is stretched horizontally.
  • Page 47 Similarly, if the number of active image lines that the scaler is set to scale is set to less than the amount of actual active lines that are input, the IN1404XT only scales the set active area and will skip some of the input lines. This early end to the scaling process results in an output with fewer lines than it should, and looks as if the image is stretched vertically.
