Wide Screen Format

All the TAMUZ SPARROWHAWK series are LCD monitors equipped with wide screen active TFT dis-
plays, developed to display 16:9 wide screen videos with a full screen image without any loss.
Their native screen aspect ratio is 16:9 or similar, so real full screen 4:3 video sources fills the monitor
screen with black areas at left and right, if the monitor is switched to 4:3 mode.
Some sources don't produce a real 16:9 signal.
The TAMUZ SPARROWHAWK series is able to handle different type of signals, see table below.

Sampling the Video

TAMUZ develops special interfaces, labeled EAGLE and FALCON, to process the video to be dis-
played on a LCD Screen.
The EAGLE or FALCON interface operates within the SPARROWHAWK series is mainly a scaling
mode. This is necessary to do, because there is a difference between the incoming SD or HD video si-
gnal formats and the panel resolutions.
The pixel-to-pixel mode takes place, only when the native resolution of the TFT fits to the video resolu-
tion. Each incoming pixel information will be transferred to its corresponding geometrical position at
the display. This happens with computer signals from the DVI-D port and with High-Definition digital si-
gnals from the HD-SDI port too.
Most of the common SMPTE 274M and 296M HD formats are supported.
