Auto HD/SD input switching-
For both the
Vision and VisionPro you can now have the processor auto switch between HD
passthru and processing SD video for satellite/cable boxes which receive both HD
and SD channels.
For the Vision inputs 2 (svideo) and 4 (HD passthru)
can be linked such that the Vision will switch between them based on whether SD
video is present on input 2. To do this you need to connect Svideo from your
satellite/cable box to the Visions input 2 and the HD output to the Visions
input 4. Now if your watching an HD channel (input 4 would be active) and you
change channels on your satellite box to an SD channel the Vision would detect
SD on input 2 and switch to it. To enable this feature press "menu",0,9,7,6"
and turn it on.
For the
VisionPro input 3(SD) & 7(HD) can be linked as well as inputs 4(SD) &
8(HD).Either can be linked such that the VisionPro will switch between them
based on whether SD video is present on the SD input. So you need to connect
svideo from your satellite/cable box to input 3/4 and the HD output to input
7/8. Now, for example, if your watching an HD channel on input 8 and you change
channels on your satellite box to an SD channel the VisionPro would detect SD on
input 4 and switch to it. To enable this feature press "menu",0,9,7,6"
and select which pair(s) to link and turn it on.
Note, that in order for automatic switching to
take place the satellite receiver must have a "hybrid"
output mode that automatically switches to SD for SD
sources and HD for HD sources. Otherwise the user must
manually switch the satellite receiver to SD for SD sources and HD
for HD sources. Not all satellite receivers
are designed to have a correct hybrid output mode (480i for SD sources
and 1080i, or 720p, for HD sources). Also, some even
make it extremely difficult to switch between SD and
HD output modes.
Per aspect zoom settings- Previously zoom was only
valid for the current input memory and if you changed the input aspect or inputs
it would be reset to no zoom. Now, each aspect for each input memory will
remember whatever zoom level you've set it to and it's also saved when you
perform a save command.
Higher refresh rates available- You can now go up
to 120 Hz refresh at 600p. It can not currently genlock at these higher rates.
At resolutions greater than 600p refresh rates higher than previously allowed
are also available.
480p 120 Hz
600p 120 Hz
768p 90 Hz
960p 85 Hz
1080p 75 Hz
Test pattern additions- A warmup test pattern is
new under the MISC->TPAT menu area. This test pattern will fill the screen with
gray at 40 IRE (can be adjusted up or down from 20-50 IRE) and will stay on
until "exit" is pressed on the remote in order to warmup your CRT. Red,Green,
and Blue test pattern fields were added to the test pattern selection.
Disable "NO SIGNAL" screen- when no signal is detected
the screen is cleared and the "NO SIGNAL" message is displayed. If you wish to
disable this and just display whatever is coming in even if it's not a clean
signal press "menu",0,9,6,4 to toggle it off/on.
1024p bug fix- crt parameters were incorrectly set.
1080p bug fix - Input aspect of 1.85 on output aspect
of 1.78 did not previously work at 1080p, it does now. |
