Video Settings

You can adjust video settings in the Video I/O workspace. To open this workspace, select Video I/O from the View menu, press <F4>, or click Video I/O in the Legend section of a workspace. See the Workspaces Overview section and the Switcher Matrix Operation section for more information.

RGB Delay

During switching, individual computer video outputs can be set to switch the input sync source first, followed by the RGB portion of the signal. This brief delay allows the display to adjust to the new sync signal before sending the picture, providing a glitch-free switch. RGB delay can be set from 0 to 5 seconds in 0.5-second increments.

To set RGB delay:

1. In the Video I/O workspace, double-click the RGB DLY (RGB Delay) block. Alternatively, select the block and press <Enter>. The RGB Delay dialog box opens with a slider to set the delay time.

2. Click and drag the slider handle to the right to set the time. Alternatively, press the <Tab> key to bring focus to the slider, then press the <Right Arrow> key to set the time.

3.  Click OK.

Video Mute

You can mute or unmute individual video outputs.

To toggle the mute state:

Double-click the VID MUTE (Video Mute) block. Alternatively, select the VID MUTE block and press <Enter>. The muted state is indicated by a red rectangle in the lower left corner of the block.

Video Format

Low resolution video inputs 11 through 14 can be individually configured as either composite video or S-video.

To toggle the video format:

Double-click the COMP VID (Composite Video) block. Alternatively, select the COMP VID block and press <Enter>. You can also right-click the video format block and from the drop-down menu, select the desired format. The format switches between S-video (S VID is displayed as the block name) and composite (COMP VID is displayed as the block name).
