When the box is checked, the action will occur under
these circumstances:
• When a new source is detected that has not been
detected before. (see "About the input memories" on
page 56 and "Input system caches" on page 63.)
• When you press the
SETUP
Retry on lost signal occurs only when the present signal
(picture) disappears or changes in some way. If this item is
not checked, the Bay Cat X will not try to sync to a new
signal. Keep this menu item checked.
Note that searching will not happen just because the pic-
ture goes black. Black, from video or from a computer, is a
valid picture. The signal itself (the sync pulses) must be lost
to trigger a search.
The several Do items in this menu will, if checked, happen
in these situations:
• If a new signal is acquired, either through a search to a
different connector or because source picture changed
modes, such as from WXGA to UXGA, each of the
checked items occurs in the order listed in the menu.
• When you press the

of the checked actions occurs in the order given in the

About the input memories
The Bay Cat X has a ten input memories for storing the
most recent attributes of the pictures it displays. When a
new picture arrives that is near enough to a previous type, it
uses the stored attributes rather than automatically adjust-
ing brightness, contrast, frequency, etc.
For example, suppose the Bay Cat X sees an analog
WXGA picture and auto-adjusts everything in the Auto
Options Menu. Then you change the Brightness and Con-
trast. Then you change computers and feed in a UXGA pic-
ture.
If you now switch back to the computer with the WXGA
picture, Bay Cat X will use the Brightness, Contrast, as
well as other settings, from the last time it saw a WXGA
picture.
✎
Aspect Ratio is specific to the source, which
means it applies to all modes. It does not change
when the system recalls a memory from cache.
