Changing Monitor Settings
The display settings for each monitor are specified individually. One or more parameters can be modified
at the same time and multiple settings can be supplied in one block.
The valid range for numeric values is 0-255. The CONTRAST and SATURATION properties are zero-
centered, so the normal value is 127, such that the displayed picture is the same as the original. A value
greater than 127 in either channel will cause the contrast or saturation to be increased, and similarly a value
less than 127 will cause a decrease.
For example, to set the brightness to 50% and desaturate the image to Black & White:
MONITOR A:↵
Brightness: 127↵
Saturation: 0↵

Identification and Tally Settings
The Identify flag is transient, and will cause a white border to be displayed around the entire picture for
a duration of 15 seconds, after which it will be reset. This feature is primarily aimed at identifying which
monitor is currently being configured when it is mounted in a rack comprising multiple units. To turn on:
