S E C T I O N 3 – I N I T I A L S E T U P

Initial Setup

STEP 1 - Power Up

1. Attach the power cord to the external power supply.

2. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet or power conditioner, if applicable.

3. Plug the small connector attached to the cable that comes out of the power supply into the iScan. The iScan should power on and display ‘iScan Duo / DVDO’ on the

Front Panel Display (FPD). If this does not happen, check all connections and verify that the power outlet does supply power with another device.

IMPORTANT: Use only the power supply that comes with your iScan Duo, or a replacement procured directly from Simplay Labs.

STEP 2 - Connect the iScan Duo to the Display

Connect an iScan to a display with an HDMI or DVI input. The iScan Duo defaults to ‘Auto Select’ mode which automatically detects and outputs the display’s preferred format.

Some displays may not indicate their native resolution as the preferred format.

To manually change the Output Resolution, press the MENU button on the remote and use the on-screen menu as shown.

Output Setup

Video Format

(Make Selection)

Useful Test Patterns:

Use the Test Patterns (ON/OFF, t and u ) buttons on the remote for relevant test patterns below.

Frame Geometry (Adjusting for Overscan)

When this test pattern is displayed correctly, there should be a one-pixel wide white border around the edge of the screen: otherwise, the display is overscanning the signal from the iScan Duo. This is very common and is known for cutting off sports scores at the bottom of the screen. Use the

‘Underscan’ control to shrink the size of the output image so that you can see the white border. Press

MENU button and use the on-screen menu as shown.

Output Setup

Underscan

(Adjust Value)

Checkerboard (Verifying if Display’s Processing Can Be Bypassed)

When the checkerboard test pattern is displayed correctly, you should be able to see a 1-pixel checkerboard close-up. At the proper viewing distance the image should appear as an even gray. Otherwise, the resulting image does not look like a fine checkerboard and may have irregular patterns.

When this is the case, the chosen output resolution may not be the native resolution of the display or the display may scale all input signals even if the input resolution is already at native resolution.

1. Verify that the iScan Duo’s output resolution matches the display’s preferred format.

2. Check to make sure that the display is in the correct Aspect Ratio mode, which may be causing the display to do additional unnecessary scaling. The correct mode may be called ‘Native’, ‘Dot-by-Dot’ or ‘Full’.

NOTE: If this test pattern does not appear as it should, and you have chosen the native resolution of the display, you may not be able to bypass the internal processing on the display. In these cases select the closest output format to the display’s native resolution.

Audio Outputs

The iScan Duo has 3 types of audio outputs.

• There are two discrete digital audio outputs, one coaxial and one optical.

Both are active at the same time, with the selected input audio stream.

Vertical Lines

The ‘Vertical Lines’ test pattern should appear as one pixel wide black and white columns. If you see any irregular pattern(s) in the image, the display is scaling the signal horizontally.

Horizontal Lines

The ‘Horizontal Lines’ test pattern should appear as one pixel tall black and white rows. If you see any irregular pattern(s) in the image, the display is scaling the signal vertically.

STEP 3 - Connecting the Sources to the iScan Duo

Up to 15 video sources can be connected to the iScan Duo.

If your source has multiple video outputs, use HDMI/DVI if available; otherwise use Component

(YPbPr) output. If Component is not available, use S-video. The (composite) video output is the lowest quality video output and should not be used unless no other video output is available.

Similarly, use HDMI for audio if available; otherwise use Digital Optical or Coaxial. Finally, use

Analog Stereo output.

STEP 4 - Configuring the Input Sources to Get Maximum Performance

The basic rule for getting the best performance from input sources is to configure the sources to output the native resolution of the content and to let the iScan Duo perform the video processing necessary to deliver the best image quality to the display.

For example, if the source is a DVD player, configure it to output standard definition (480i or 480p) and let the iScan Duo perform the up-conversion to deliver the high resolution image to the display.

Similarly, if a set-top-box is receiving 1080i content, it would be best to configure it to output the same format to the iScan Duo. Some devices that can receive or playback multiple formats have a

‘native’ output mode where the output format is based on the content. Set these devices to ‘native’ when connected to the iScan Duo.

S E C T I O N 4 – M E N U O P T I O N S

This section describes iScan Duo’s On-Screen Menu which is activated when the user presses

MENU on the remote or front panel.

These inputs can also be accessed using the direct access buttons on the remote

Output Select

This menu selects one of the iScan Duo’s two HDMI video outputs

HDMI A/V 1 Selects HDMI video output 1 (default)

HDMI A/V 2 Selects HDMI video output 2

The HDMI video output selection can also be made using the VIDEO button on the Output Select section of the remote control. This button will toggle between the two HDMI video outputs. If there is only one display connected to the iScan Duo, it will not switch the video output.

Input Aspect Ratio

This menu controls the aspect ratio settings of the iScan Duo’s inputs.

• Picture (Aspect Ratio)

DVDs today are mostly encoded in 16:9 aspect ratio which is sometimes referred to as

‘anamorphic’ or ‘enhanced for widescreen TV’s’. Some older DVDs are encoded in 4:3 aspect ratio. Standard definition (SD) broadcasts, and older legacy SD content also have 4:3 picture aspect ratio. High definition (HD) content has 16:9 aspect ratio.

Vertical Lines

The ‘Vertical Lines’ test pattern should appear as one pixel wide black and white columns. If you see any irregular pattern(s) in the image, the display is scaling the signal horizontally.

Horizontal Lines

The ‘Horizontal Lines’ test pattern should appear as one pixel tall black and white rows. If you see any irregular pattern(s) in the image, the display is scaling the signal vertically.

STEP 3 - Connecting the Sources to the iScan Duo

Up to 15 video sources can be connected to the iScan Duo.

If your source has multiple video outputs, use HDMI/DVI if available; otherwise use Component

5:4

4:3

Set picture aspect ratio to 5:4

Set picture aspect ratio to 4:3

16:9 Set picture aspect ratio to 16:9

• Active (Aspect Ratio)

This is aspect ratio of content or movie. For example, typical movie aspect ratios are

1.85:1 or 2.35:1.

4:3

16:9

Set active aspect ratio to 16:9

1.55:1 Set active aspect ratio to 1.55:1

Set active aspect ratio to 16:9

1.85:1 Set active aspect ratio to 1.55:1

2.35:1 Set active aspect ratio to 2.35:1

The iScan Duo scales the input image based on picture and active aspect ratio settings.

• Stretch ratio is not maintained using this control. The Stretch control works differently from most other control screens. It uses p and q navigation buttons to stretch vertically and t and u buttons to stretch horizontally. The ENTER button takes you to the previous screen, or you can press the EXIT button on your remote to exit menus.

• Shift

Shift allows you to move around on a zoomed or stretched image. As you move around, you expose parts of the picture that were not visible. Shift works only on a zoomed image.

The controls work like Stretch described on the previous page.

Use the p and q navigation buttons to move the image vertically and t and u buttons to move the image horizontally. The ENTER button takes you to the previous screen, or you can press the EXIT button on your remote to exit menus.

• Auto AR

When Auto AR is enabled, the iScan Duo will set the input aspect ratio settings automatically.

HDMI sources communicate this information to the iScan Duo. Certain formats also have pre-defined aspect ratios. For example, the (picture) aspect ratio of high-definition (HD) video formats is 16:9 while the (picture) aspect ratio of SXGA PC format is 5:4.

When Auto AR is disabled, use Picture and Active aspect ratio menus to manually select the correct aspect ratio.

• Zoom the input image. As the picture magnifies, the area around the the iScan Duos becomes invisible off the sides, top and bottom of your display.

Use the p and q buttons on your remote to zoom up and down.

In addition, the remote control has a ZOOM p and a ZOOM q button to quickly zoom an image.

• Presets

Presets provides a short-cut to common aspect ratio settings.

16:9 Full Frame

Select this mode when both the picture aspect ratio and the active aspect ratio of the input image are 16:9. If the active aspect ratio is different, there will be black bars on the sides or on the top and bottom part of your display.

4:3 Full Frame

Select this mode when both the picture aspect and the active format aspect ratio of the input image are 4:3. For a 16:9 display there will be black bars on the left and right side of your display.

4:3 Letterbox

Select this mode when the picture aspect ratio is 4:3 but the active format aspect ratio of the input image has a 16:9 or larger aspect ratio. Some older DVDs are encoded in this manner. The iScan Duo will vertically stretch the input image to fill the screen.

Panorama

This mode is a variation of the 4:3 Full Frame mode. The iScan Duo stretches the input image to remove the black bars on both sides of the display. The middle part of the image is not stretched. Only the left and right side of the image are stretched.

User Preset

Custom aspect ratio settings including picture and active aspect ratios, zoom, stretch and shift functions will be saved in User Preset.

Input Adjust

This menu controls the settings on iScan Duo’s inputs.

• PReP

PReP ™ is an exclusive DVDO processing technology developed by Simplay Labs.

Standard definition (SD) formats such as 480p, 576p were deinterlaced at some point before reaching iScan Duo. Deinterlacing is a complex processing technology that has a significant impact on image quality. The iScan Duo uses Simplay Labs’ high performance DVDO precision deinterlacing.

High definition (HD) formats such as 1080p50 and 1080p60 are also frequently created by deinterlacing 1080i50 and 1080i60.

PReP accepts one of the formats mentioned, and converts it back into an interlaced format.

It can then be deinterlaced again using the DVDO technology in iScan Duo, which usually results in a higher quality picture.

The PReP control allows users to disable this function.

480p/576p Use this menu to enable or disable PReP for 480p/576p formats

1080p 50Hz/60Hz Use this menu to enable or disable PReP for 1080p50/60 formats

• DeInterlacer

The deinterlacer control is relevant when the input is interlaced (480i, 576i, 1080i50 or 1080i60) or it is a deinterlaced format and PReP is enabled (480p, 576p, 1080p50 or 1080p60).

Shift allows you to move around on a zoomed or stretched image. As you move around, you expose parts of the picture that were not visible. Shift works only on a zoomed image.

The controls work like Stretch described on the previous page.

• Auto AR

When Auto AR is enabled, the iScan Duo will set the input aspect ratio settings automatically.

When Auto AR is disabled, use Picture and Active aspect ratio menus to manually select the correct aspect ratio.

• Zoom the input image. As the picture magnifies, the area around the the iScan Duos becomes invisible off the sides, top and bottom of your display.

Use the p and q buttons on your remote to zoom up and down.

In addition, the remote control has a ZOOM p and a ZOOM q button to quickly zoom an image.

• Presets

Presets provides a short-cut to common aspect ratio settings.

16:9 Full Frame

4:3 Full Frame

Select this mode when both the picture aspect and the active format aspect ratio of the input image are 4:3. For a 16:9 display there will be black bars on the left and right side of your display.

• PReP

PReP ™ is an exclusive DVDO processing technology developed by Simplay Labs.

High definition (HD) formats such as 1080p50 and 1080p60 are also frequently created by deinterlacing 1080i50 and 1080i60.

PReP accepts one of the formats mentioned, and converts it back into an interlaced format.

It can then be deinterlaced again using the DVDO technology in iScan Duo, which usually results in a higher quality picture.

The PReP control allows users to disable this function.

480p/576p Use this menu to enable or disable PReP for 480p/576p formats

1080p 50Hz/60Hz Use this menu to enable or disable PReP for 1080p50/60 formats

• DeInterlacer

The deinterlacer control is relevant when the input is interlaced (480i, 576i, 1080i50 or 1080i60) or it is a deinterlaced format and PReP is enabled (480p, 576p, 1080p50 or 1080p60).

There are several deinterlacing modes available on the iScan Duo. This setting is saved on a

“per input per SD and HD format” basis. The functions of these modes are described below:

Auto This (default) mode represents the best balance between detection of film and video sources, bad edit detection, and identification of mixed-mode sources.

Film This mode is intended for film-based content.

Auto — Film-mode detection is automatic but biased towards film.

Forced 3:2 — This mode is intended to be used with ‘high-quality’ 24 fps film sources like Blu-ray discs. This forced cadence mode is useful for watching a movie from start to finish but less useful for lower quality content with bad edits or if you’re going to be skipping around a lot between chapters.

Forced 2:2 — This mode is similar with Forced 3:2 but used with 50Hz video

standards

2:2 Even — This mode is similar with Forced 2:2 and should be used when

Forced 2:2 mode does not lock to the 2:2 cadence in the movie. This mode weaves two adjacent fields together starting with an even field and combining it with the following odd field.

2:2 Odd — This mode weaves two adjacent fields together starting with an odd field and combining it with the following even field. Either 2:2 Even or 2:2 Odd is correct for any given source. Try both of them and select the one which does not result in combing artifacts.

Video This mode is intended for interlace video-based content.

• Game Mode

This mode is intended for use with game consoles (like those from Sony, Microsoft and

Nintendo). It minimizes video processing delay through the iScan Duo. The total amount of delay is about half a frame of delay when the output frame rate is locked to the input frame rate. Unlocked frame rates may increase this delay.

• Deep Color

Deep Color mode allows the iScan Duo to accept 24-bit, 30-bit or 36-bit inputs from Deep

Color HDMI sources. If Deep Color mode is turned off, the iScan Duo will not accept 30-bit or 36-bit inputs.

Note: Deep Color increases the bandwidth requirements of your HDMI interface. The HDMI interface may run as much as 50% faster, depending on the bit depth. For that reason, the Deep

Color feature defaults to “disabled.” You have to enable it through this menu.

If you have a failure, you will have to upgrade your HDMI cables, use shorter cables (in some cases), or disable the Deep Color feature.

• Video Level

Video Level refers to the dynamic range of the video signal. The video industry evolved levels that allowed for some guard band in the signal levels to account for overshoot or other signaling problems. The computer industry evolved levels that allocate the entire dynamic range possible for the image information.

The iScan Duo must accept signals from video components, such as DVD players, set top boxes, video recorders, which use video signal levels or PCs and game consoles, which may use computer signal levels. The Video Level in the Input Adjust menu gives you control over what signaling levels are used for inputs.

Auto

Video

Sets the input signal level based on information provided by the HDMI source

Computer Sets the input signal level to computer level

• Hot-Plug Source

When Hot-Plug Source is enabled for an HDMI input, a signal on the HDMI input connector, called Hot-Plug, is toggled when switching to that input. Toggling Hot-Plug causes the source device and iScan Duo to perform an HDCP re-authentication. HDCP is a copy protection technology that is part of the HDMI standard.

Enable Hot-Plug Source if you experience problems switching to a particular source device.

These problems include very slow switching with flashing on the display, or colored noise over the entire display

The only downside to enabling Hot-Plug Source is that switching could be a little slower due to the time it takes to re-authenticate.

Hot-Plug Source is grayed out if the selected input is not HDMI.

• Audio Input

If you have a non-HDMI input source device, you must associate (pair) the audio from that device with the video. The iScan Duo will then treat them as a pair when switching inputs, so that they switch together. When you choose an audio input on this menu, you are associating that audio input with the currently selected video input.

If your source device uses DVI for video output, and you are connecting to the iScan Duo using a DVI to HDMI adapter cable, you will have to connect audio via a separate cable and use this menu to associate the pair.

Select one of the audio sources below

• Audio Delay

The iScan Duo automatically delays audio to match the video processing delay to prevent

A/V Lip-sync issues. The user can also manually adjust the audio delay using the navigation q button to decrease the delay and p button to increase the delay (in msec).

Picture Controls

Picture Controls let you make adjustments to your picture and apply to the currently selected input.

The settings are independently adjustable for every video input. The Brightness, Contrast, Color

Saturation, Hue (Tint), Detail Enhancement and Edge Enhancement controls are in the form of a slider-bar. Use the p q navigation buttons to increase and decrease values.

Picture Controls

Picture Controls let you make adjustments to your picture and apply to the currently selected input.

The settings are independently adjustable for every video input. The Brightness, Contrast, Color

Saturation, Hue (Tint), Detail Enhancement and Edge Enhancement controls are in the form of a slider-bar. Use the p q navigation buttons to increase and decrease values.

The Picture Controls settings are briefly described below:

• Brightness

Adjust the black level of the overall image from the iScan Duo. When you make an adjustment to brightness, all levels of brightness, from black to peak white, are shifted up or down.

The Brightness control is complimentary to the Contrast control which will be described next.

Contrast adjusts the level of white.

• Contrast

Video contrast works by adjusting the level of white. Contrast is complimentary to the

Brightness control. Contrast controls should be used carefully because if overly adjusted, some details in lighter areas can become less visible.

• Color Saturation

Color Saturation refers to the mix of “color” vs. “brightness” in the picture. Increasing Color

Saturation makes colors look more vivid. Decreasing Color Saturation makes colors look

“washed out.” Changes to either Brightness or Contrast can change your Color Saturation.

You can use this control to balance the mix of color verses brightness.

• Hue (Tint)

The changes made with a Hue control effect what most people would refer to as “color.” Hue controls cause a shift in color spectra. Sometimes this control is called “Tint”. Hue changes color without changing Luminance (picture brightness) or color saturation.

• Detail Enhancement

Increase Detail Enhancement to enhance or sharpen the fine details in an image such as grass or the texture of a plaster wall.

Decrease Detail Enhancement to reduce noise in a noisy image.

• Edge Enhancement

• Mosquito NR

The term “noise” in the context of video images refers to unwanted or unnatural looking elements that find their way into video signals. “Mosquito Noise” is a particular type of image noise that is caused by video compression processing. Video compression is common for all types of transmitted video, including cable, satellite, and over-the-air broadcasts. Compression is also used with DVD and other prerecorded media. The visibility of Mosquito Noise will vary. In some cases, it can become objectionable. Mosquito Noise will be more obvious in standard definition video, although it is sometimes present in high definition video.

The iScan Duo’s Mosquito NR feature removes mosquito noise present in an image. There are three controls.

Off No noise reduction is applied. This is the normal setting for a good quality image.

On-Low Used when there is a small amount of mosquito noise present in the image.

On-High Used when there is significant amount of mosquito noise present in the image.

Mosquito NR should only be enabled when there is noise in an image since it will remove details in a good image.

Output Setup

The Output Setup menu lets you set up the iScan Duo’s many output features. The menus are listed below.

• Test Patterns

There are 35 test patterns available for advanced users and calibration professionals. These patterns automatically resize and use the correct colorimetry for the current output format.

Test patterns are useful to calibrate your home theater setup.

The iScan Duo remote has a group of buttons labeled TEST PATTERNS to turn test patterns on/off and to navigate through the list of available test patterns.

• Video Format

All DVI and HDMI displays have an Extended Display Identification Data (EDID), which contains information about the display’s capability. This information which includes the display’s

“preferred format” can be read by iScan Duo over the HDMI or DVI cable. In Auto Select mode (iScan Duo’s default mode), the iScan Duo will automatically self-configure its output to the display’s preferred format. It is possible that the display’s preferred format is not on the list of standard formats shown on the Video Format menu listed below.

Use the INFO button on the remote or the Information screen in the menu to see the current output format.

If you prefer not to use Auto Select, you can choose one of the standard formats from the list on the Video Format menu

If the output format changes, the iScan Duo tests to insure that your display can accept the new format. You have about 30 seconds to verify that you see the new format by moving the highlight bar to “Yes” then “OK.” If you don’t verify the new format, the iScan Duo will revert to the previous format.

• Underscan

Some displays will overscan the picture, which means that the edges of the picture are outside the frame of the viewable area. The Underscan slider-bar control lets you shrink the picture, so that you can see all of it, and adjust for over-scanning.

Underscan is a display control. It is fixed regardless of which input is selected.

The Picture Controls settings are briefly described below:

• Brightness

Sources can send content protected audio/video signals to the input.

Off The iScan Duo turns off HDCP on its input. This feature speeds up the iScan Duo’s ability to lock onto an input signal when HDCP is not needed.

5. New Configuration Control

A menu item was added to allow users to control the OSD display.

5.1 Menu Timeout

The OSD menu timeout determines the time (in seconds) it takes for the iScan Duo to close

the OSD menu after no action has been performed. The user can now control the duration

of the timeout.

This control is available in the Configuration menu:

Main Menu

Configuration

Menu Timeout

40 sec (default) On-screen menu times out after 40 seconds

160 sec. On-screen menu times out after 160 seconds

Off On-screen menu never times out.

6. New Output Setup Controls

Several menu items were added to improve compatibility and display of border and mask levels.

6.1 Border Level

A border is created when the active aspect ratio of the input does not match the display

aspect ratio. For example, if the active aspect ratio is 4:3 and the display aspect ratio is

16:9 the iScan Duo creates a left and right border on the resulting image. The border level

can now be adjusted from 0 IRE (black) to 100 IRE (white) with a slider bar control.

The default setting is 0 IRE.

This control is available in the Output Setup menu:

Main Menu

This document provides additional information for the DVDO iScan Duo configured with the latest firmware. It is a supplement to the iScan Duo user manual.

1. Color Management System

This iScan Duo release incorporates several new features that can be loosely categorized as Color

Management System. These features include Color Gamut Controls, Chromaticity Controls and

Gray Scale Controls. The CMS features make the iScan Duo a useful tool for calibrating displays.

DVDO strongly recommends the use of a good colorimeter for display calibration.

The following sections describe new features:

Input Chromaticity

For accurate calibration of the display and the rest of the signal chain, it is important to correctly set the input chromaticity for the iScan Duo. Chromaticity in this case includes the color and white point values along the CIE (1931) color chart.

This new control is available in the Input Adjust menu:

Main Menu

Input Adjust

Chromaticity

By default the Chromaticity is set to ‘Auto’, which sets the chromaticity based on the input format. For example, if the input format is 1080p (HD), the chromaticity is based on BT.709.

The chromaticity can also be manually set from this menu, which contains standard profiles including RGBs/709, NTSC, PAL/SECAM, SMPTE-C, CIE1931, AppleRGB and Adobe 1998.

When the Chromaticity is selected, the ‘hint’ area of the on-screen display shows corresponding color and white point x, y values (red (xr, yr), blue (xb, yb), green (xg, yg) and white (xw, yw)).

Note: This control is currently not updating the chromaticity values in our input EDID

Output Chromaticity

Similarly, there are the Output Chromaticity controls which are required for accurate calibration.

This control is typically not required since the Color Gamut control can correct for incorrect chromaticity values provided by the display EDID. Users can think of this control as a coarse color control, which may be useful when a meter is not available.

This new control is available in the Output Setup menu:

Main Menu

Output Setup

Chromaticity

By default the Chromaticity is set to ‘Auto’, which sets the chromaticity based on the chromaticity information in the display’s EDID.

The chromaticity can also be manually set from this menu, which contains standard profiles including RGBs/709, NTSC, PAL/SECAM, SMPTE-C, CIE1931, AppleRGB and Adobe 1998.

When the Chromaticity is selected, the ‘hint’ area of the on-screen display shows corresponding color and white point x, y values (red (xr, yr), blue (xb, yb), green (xg, yg) and white (xw, yw)).

Color Gamut

The Color Gamut control allows adjustment of Red, Green, Blue primary colors and white point on the CIE colorimetry chart. The Gamut adjustments are relative to the selected output chromaticity.

This new control is available in the Output Setup menu:

Main Menu

Output Setup

Color Gamut

There are two ways to use this control:

1. Using the iScan Duo’s test pattern generator as a reference color source

2. Using an external video source to generate the reference test patterns

Using iScan Duo’s Test Pattern Generator

1. Enable test pattern generator by pressing the ‘Test Pattern On/Off’ button on the Duo’s

remote or using the on-screen menu Output Setup

Test Patterns

On.

2. Adjust primaries and white point using the on-screen menu.

The RGB indicator on the left side of the screen shows the input RGB signal going into the

CMS processor. The RGB indicator on the right side shows the output RGB signal from the CMS processor. The units for these indicators as well as the adjustment values are in percentage of full range gamma-corrected RGB.

3. There are 8 chromaticity offset controls:

• Red-x

• Red-y

• Green-x

• Green-y

• Blue-x

• Blue-y

• White-x

• White-y

4. When Red is being adjusted, the Duo automatically generates a red test pattern. Similarly,

when Green, Blue and white are being adjusted, the green, blue and red signals are

generated by the Duo.

Using a reference signal connected to iScan Duo’s input

The Duo’s test pattern generator should be turned off in this mode. Provide the reference primary and white signal that needs to be measured and adjusted and use the on-screen menu as described in the previous section.

Gray Scale Control

The Gray Scale control allows gray scale adjustment in 11 steps from 0 IRE to 100 IRE in 10 IRE increments.

This new control is available in the Output Setup menu:

1. Support for Audio only optical and coax sources

This feature is for users who have digital audio only (coax and optical) source (i.e. no video source) and want to use it with Duo. Previously this feature is not available because the Duo goes into standby mode when there is no video input (auto standby-on).

The Duo now detects the presence of digital audio (coax and optical) inputs in addition to video inputs.

To use this feature: a) Select an unused video input b) Assign the audio input that is connected to the audio only source using the on-screen menu below.

Main Menu

Input Adjust

Audio Input c) Selecting the unused video input effectively selects the audio input.

This feature is independent of the output and will work with all four of the Duo’s audio outputs (HDMI A/V 1, HDMI A/V 2, HDMI Audio and Digital coax/digital).

2. HDCP is enabled on the output only if input is encrypted.

The previous Duo software enables HDCP (encryption) if it detects an HDCP based display even if the input signal is unprotected. The current version enables HDCP only if the input signal is HDCP encrypted.
