Custom Formats are computer formats that you can define by yourself to support any required non-standard
output format.
The custom formats capability thus adds a layer of format compatibility to the CVT (version 1.1) and DMT
(version 1.0) format standards supported by default by the VIO 4K, by allowing you to define your own
custom computer formats whenever required and keep them directly on the device.
The VIO 4K provides a list of predefined output formats that you can freely use to set up your outputs.
If the required output format is not available however, you can still build up the list of available formats by
creating your own custom computer format.
To create a custom computer format:
Front Panel
1. Enter the CUSTOMIZE menu on the Front Panel interface.
