Display Setup
The Display Setup menu controls the setup parameters for the video
output path, as well as the format of the video output signal.
The Display Setup menu contains the following options:
• Name – customizes the name of each Display Setup. Refer to the “Add
New, Name, & Delete” section found at the beginning of this chapter
for more details.
• Output Path – identifies the active video output connector on the
rear panel.
• Display Format – sets the aspect ratio of the output video signal.
• Color Space – identifies the color mapping format used for the video
output signal.
• Resolution – identifies the video resolution of the video output.
• Output Frame Rate – selects the frame rate of the video output.
• Zoom Ratio – expands the video to fill the display area, reducing or
eliminating the black bars resulting from letterboxing or pillarboxing.
• SD Component Black Level – sets the black level of the video
output, for standard definition video.
• Delete Display – deletes Display setups that are no longer needed.
Refer to the “Add New, Name, & Delete” section found at the
beginning of this chapter for more details.
Output Path
The Output Path identifies which high-definition video output connector
on the rear panel carries the active video output signal for the selected
Display Setup. Three options are available -– HDMI 1, HDMI 2, and
Component. The output connectors can be assigned to multiple Display
Setups, but only one video output can be active at any given time.
Note For all source materials with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection), video is disabled on the component output. However, the Nº502
menus are still displayed. The Detailed Status Panel identifies the presence of
HDCP source material.
Display Format
The Display Format parameter sets the aspect ratio of the output video
signal. The aspect ratio is a width-to-height definition of the video display
area. The Nº502 has two options:
• 16:9 aspect ratio - standard for HDTV format, this aspect ratio is also
referred to as widescreen. Almost twice as wide as it is high, it closely
matches the aspect ratio of theatrical movie theaters. This setting
should be used for displays with 16:9 aspect ratio.
