3G Level B 3D Monitoring Modes
In addition to this Line by Line mode all FSI monitors with 3Gbps SDI inputs will have the following diagnostic modes for
monitoring 3D signals without glasses:
3D Checkerboard: Checkerboard display of both signals with alternating blocks shown from Link A and Link B
of the multiplexed 3Gbps SDI signal. The checkerboard size is adjustable using the Checkerboard Size menu
option.
3D Disparity: This shows an overlay of Link A and Link B with differences between the links highlighted.
Stream 1, Stream 2, PAP, Horizontal Split, and Vertical Split: As with all Level B 3Gbps SDI signals these 3G
Level B viewing modes can be useful for analyzing and comparing Left and Right Eye streams.
DVI Pixel Format
Use DVI Pixel Format to select between Full RGB (0-255), Limited RGB (16-235), or YCbCr modes.
PAP Input
Select the secondary input for use with the Picture and Picture function, the primary input is the actively selected input from
the monitor’s keypad.
PAP Mode
Select between Picture In Picture, Picture On Picture, and Picture And Picture for the PIP Function.
SD Enhancement
Applies maximum sharpening and video quality enhancement to SD video sources.
Anamorphic De-Squeeze
Toggles between 1.3, 1.3mag, 2.0, and 2.0mag HD Anamorphic Desqueeze ratios. This is used in conjunction with the
Anamorphic Desqueeze function described in the Function Menu portion of this manual.
Signal Mode
Selecting ‘Film’ for this setting allows the monitor to compensate for material with 2:3 pulldown to provide a smoother image.
Selecting ‘TV’ for this setting processes the incoming video signal with no 2:3 pulldown compensation. Selecting ‘Auto’ will
automatically trigger ‘Film’ mode anytime 2:3 pulldown is detected.
I->P Mode
The I->P mode selection species how the monitor will treat interlaced footage. When set to Inter-Field, consecutive elds
will be combined and shown as a single frame. The Motion-Compensated I->P Mode allows for high quality monitoring of
interlaced video sources and is the default mode on the DM220 and DM250. On the DM170, DM240, and DM241 Motion
Compensated can be selected to check for eld order and other quality control checks of interlaced video, but Inter-Field is
suggested for prolonged monitoring to avoid temporary image retention that can occur when using Motion Compensated
mode on this type of LCD technology. As of FW 1.1.04-2250 Inter-Field is the default setting on DM170, DM240, and
DM241 models. The I->P Mode selection only applies to interlaced video sources. Progressive and PsF video sources will
automatically be shown as progressive on screen.
Sharpness Level
This function is a peaking level adjustment and produces an effect very similar to a physical aperture adjustment. By
adjusting sharpness lower the image will look softer and by adjusting sharpness higher the image will look sharper. Please
note that perceived sharpness may also be affected by video processing and pixel mapping settings.
