9.3.1 Input Signal
9.3.1.1 Input Interface
By default, select “Auto Select Input Interface”, supporting input interface includes:
DVI / HDMI input, VGA input, YPbPr input, CVBS input.
Notes: when “Auto Select Input Interface” is selected, if HDMI and YPbPr input interfaces both have signal access, then HDMI input is preferred. You must select
CVBS input manually, otherwise it will be identified with component input. Signal must access Y interface (green RCA interface). In fact, the capture card can capture 6
SD signals coupled with other four CVBS inputs which XI204XE offers.
9.3.1.2 Signal Status
The relevant parameters of signal are shown, such as total number of rows, frame rate
(p is progressive scan, i is interlaced), mode, audio frequency.
9.3.2 Image Adjustment
By default, image is auto, but auto cannot achieve desired effect, such as black border, unclear image, picture which needs clipping, it must be adjusted manually. After adjustment, you can save the preset. Then you can apply preset values without adjustment when the same signal accesses.
For example as VGA signal adjustment:
Black border adjustment: Through adjust left margin and top margin to eliminate black border. Every time you can adjust 1 pixel.
Text definition adjustment: adjust line number of samples and sampling phase to achieve desired definition of text.
Select correct resolution quickly: the capture card cannot identify correct resolution with the same number of rows, such as 1024x768, 1280x768, 1360x768, 1368x768,
10/16 Copyright © 2009-2010 All Rights Reserved. Nanjing Universal Networks Co.
lines are all 768, auto may be all identified as 1024x768, then click “auto”, a list will pop up as shown below, user can select the correct resolution.
Figure 10, auto pop-up menu
Image clipping: Through adjust image width, height, left margin and top margin to achieve desired requirement. Increasing/reducing width of image starts from right, increasing/reducing height of image starts from bottom.
Skills of image clipping as follows:
1. Set scale “fill output image” to confirm whether clipping adjustment is appropriate.
2. Cut off image left: firstly increase left margin, then reduce image width.
3. Cut off image right: reduce image width.
4. Cut off image top: firstly reduce image height, and then increase top margin.
5. Cut off image bottom: reduce image height.
After image adjustment completes, click "Save Preset" to save current adjustment; click "Del preset" to delete preset you saved; click "Apply Preset" to apply the saved preset to current settings.
9.3.3 Image Output
Display output format of current image, set image zoom scale, deinterlace and image flipping.
Format: display output image size, frame rate, color format.
Scale: provide three ways, full output image and keep aspect ratio, fill border to black and keep aspect ratio, clip border.
Deinterlace: vertial blend, motion adaptive. Motion adaptive is better, but it takes up high CPU usage, also you can selcet “disabled”.
