it is sometimes difficult to observe artifacts such as external de‐interlacing/resizing and signal noise. Remove the
checkmark to return back to normal.
Color Enable
Select which color or colors you want to see. This is useful while working with color temperature, input levels or
other special setup parameters. Colors can also be enabled/disabled by entering the corresponding function code
listed on the back of the standard remote keypad.
Odd Pixel Adjustment
NOTES: 1) Factory‐set and rarely required by user. 2) Source must be >90 MHz.
When using certain RGB sources, you may need to adjust the normal gain or offset of odd pixels in relation to even
pixels. This will smooth out very narrow (one‐pixel wide) "checks" or vertical stripes that indicate adjacent "on"
and "off" pixels. Using the Level Detector simplifies this process:
1. Use an external analog native‐sized continuous grayscale test pattern with at least 256‐levels.
2. Turn "Level Detector" on.
3. Set "Level Value" to ~200. The image should now be black‐and‐white (or black‐and‐one color, if you use "Color
Enable" function).
4. Adjust offset. Half of the pixels will move, the other half will not.
5. Adjust until the two transition regions overlap. The stripe of noise will be minimized, defined by the value in the
slide bar.
6. Set "Level Value" to ~800. The image should now be black‐and‐white.
7. Repeat Steps 4 and 5, but adjusting gain.
8. Repeat Steps 3‐7 for all remaining colors. Your RGB source
should now be OK.
Two sets of values are automatically saved with these controls
— one value for Input #1, and one for Input #2 (analog). The
current set of values depends on which source is in use. This
enables a source to be processed correctly via two different
inputs.
NOTES: 1) Adjust offset before gain, since offset affects gain. 2) A value of 128 represents no change in normal odd
pixel offset or gain. 3) Odd Pixel Adjustment eliminates "one pixel on, one pixel off" artifact only, not any type of
larger artifacts.
Peak Detector
The "Peak Detector" is a fast method for defining individual input levels, and can improve the accuracy of input
levels set by the Auto Input Level function. Enabling the "Peak Detector" activates a special operating mode for
detecting only pixels that are considered black or white — all other levels are displayed as a mid‐level gray. When
used with a 16‐step grayscale pattern in which the two black and white bands are known to be at opposite edges
of the image, you can watch these isolated areas while adjusting individual black levels and white levels until both
