Function Menu
Sub Window
Largely deprecated for use on CFE2 equipped units. For side by side viewing on CFE2 units please use the
dedicated PAP function instead. The Sub Window function enables a still picture by live picture mode. After assigning
the Sub Window function to a function key the rst key press will result in a picture by picture display of your active input.
Once sub window mode is active you can press down on the H POS rotary knob to freeze the image on the right while the
image on the left will continue to show your live source. Once frozen you can also switch to any other input provided that the
resolution of that input is the same as the frozen source. To exit sub window simply press the assigned function key again.
Pixel Mapping
The Pixel Mapping function toggles between various available pixel mapping options. Options vary depending on the
incoming source, but may include the following:
1:1 Pixel Mapping: 1 pixel of incoming source is displayed as 1 pixel on-screen. If the incoming source resolution is less
than the total pixel count of the monitor your source will not ll the screen. This is often referred to as a postage stamp
representation of the source. If the incoming source resolution is greater than the total pixel count of the monitor then only
a portion of the incoming source will be shown on-screen, but the pixel position function (controlled by the H POS rotary
knob) may be used to view different sections of the 1:1 pixel representation. The monitor’s tally light will ash to remind
you that you are in 1:1 pixel mapping mode if any portion of the image is not shown on screen when in 1:1. This pixel
mapping mode can be combined with the SD Aspect Function (Anamorphic toggle) to activate a PAL SD FHA viewing
mode on the monitor. Once pixel mapping is active pressing down on the H POS knob will move the source to a different
on-screen position when pressed. Please note that if the incoming source is the same resolution as the panel the image
will not move. On all native 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 resolution monitors this mode will allow you to view any portion of
an incoming 2K source in an unscaled 1:1 on-screen representation.
2:1 Pixel Mapping (SD sources only): Every individual pixel of the incoming source is represented by four pixels onscreen.
This scaling algorithm is simple and allows for a largely artifact free double size version of the 1:1 Pixel Mapping Mode for
SD sources. While 2:1 scaling will still not ll the entire screen on a 1920x1080 resolution monitor, it does use a majority
of the vertical screen height and provides an excellent quality large scale representation of the SD source.
Full Screen Mapping: The full screen mode will scale the incoming source to ll as much of the screen as
possible while preserving the incoming source’s native aspect ratio. If the incoming source and panel share
the same resolution then there will be no difference between 1:1 pixel mapping and full screen pixel mapping.
Please note that the Overscan function will be represented differently based on the pixel mapping selection that you select.
Pixel Position
This feature is a part of the Pixel Mapping function and provides a toggle for positioning a 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapped
representation of an incoming source on different areas of the screen. Once pixel mapping is active the H POS knob
will move the source to a different on-screen position when pressed. Please note that if the incoming source is the same
resolution as the panel the image will not move. The pixel position feature does not work unless the 1:1 Pixel to Pixel
mapping mode function is turned On. On all native 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 resolution monitors this mode will allow you to
view any portion of an incoming 2K source in an unscaled 1:1 on-screen representation.
H/V Delay Mode
This mode activates the Horizontal and Vertical Delay function to highlight the horizontal and vertical blanking portions of the
incoming signal. This can be used in conjunction with the Video Data feature for specic analysis of Horizontal and Vertical
Blanking data.
SD Aspect Ratio
Toggles between 4:3 and Anamorphic display of Standard Denition source. This function should be set to match the SD
source being viewed. The default setting is 4:3. If used in conjunction with 1:1 pixel mapping this function can also activate
a PAL SD FHA viewing mode.
