4. When you select a video output setting, Moxi tries that setting for you.
a. If you are switching between RF/composite/S-video and component/DVI-D input
connections, you may need to switch your TV's input to match the new setting. Once you
see the new setting display correctly, you'll need to switch back to the original connection
in order to confirm the new setting in the Moxi Menu. Once confirmed, you can return to
the new connection and TV input setting for normal viewing.
b. If you are not switching between RF/composite/S-video and component/DVI-D
connections, you may be able to confirm the new setting without changing TV inputs.
5. If you select a setting that is not supported, your screen may appear unreadable. Moxi reverts
to your previous video output setting after 20 seconds if you don't confirm the new one.
The following table lists the video resolutions supported by each type of physical connection
available on the BMC9012:
Video connections: supported resolutions

TIP
The "p" and "i" designations in the resolution settings above stand for "progressive" and
"interlaced." The 480p and 480i formats are called the SD (standard definition) formats,
and 480i is roughly equivalent to a normal analog TV picture. When analog TV shows are
broadcast on digital TV stations, they are broadcast in 480p or 480i. The 720p, 1080i and
1080p formats are HD (high definition) formats. When you hear about "HDTV," this is
what they are talking about.
