Deko1000 and Deko550 Hardware Settings Window

The Hardware Settings window in Deko1000 and Deko550 provides a list of parameters that can
be configured to customize the integration into your facility. To access the Hardware Settings
dialog box, run the Deko1000 or Deko550 software application and select Options >> Hardware
Settings within the Deko application. The window shown in Figure 3-5 will be displayed.
Which Channel -- The Deko1000 and Deko550 can be configured in either a Single Channel
or Program-Preview configuration. Depending on how your system is configured, you will
have the option of configuring each of these channels through the "Which Channel" drop
down menu.
Video Characteristics_Video Standard -- Deko1000 and Deko550 can be configured to run
in either NTSC or PAL video standards. Select the format from the "Video Standard" drop
down menu.
Video Characteristics_Aspect Ratio -- Deko1000 and Deko550 can be configured to run in
either 4x3 or 16:9 aspect ratios. This will control how the Deko application is laid out and how
graphics are created. Select the format from the "Aspect Ratio" drop down menu.
Video Characteristics_Output H Timing -- The horizontal output timing of each Deko1000
and Deko550 channel can be adjusted in half pixel increments relative to the analog reference
input (House Reference). The range of available adjustment is between -300 µsec and 300
µsec.
Video Characteristics_Perserve Lines -- When using a live video input as a background on
your Deko1000 or Deko550 system, vertical interval data (such as Close Captioning and
VITC) can be preserved and passed through to the video output. To use this feature, select the
range of lines to preserve in the "Preserve Lines" drop down menu.
Important: Enable this option only when necessary, as using it will consume a portion of the total
pixel processing power of the system.
