Example Example 1 : Device front panel initial light state: FN indicator is light, HDCP/TIMING indicator is light, 7-segment LED shows 3.Now set resolution as 1280*1024@60, operation steps as following. Step: Press FN button to make indicator light. Press HDCP/TIMING button to make HDCP/TIMING indicator light. Press + or - button to select the required resolution number. Page 9
7-segment LED shows the selected number 9(9 indicates 1280*1024@60). Example 2 : Device front panel initial light state: FN indicator is light, HDCP/TIMING indicator is light, 7-segment LED shows 3.Now set audio sample frequency to 48KHZ, operation ways as following. Step: Press FN button to make indicator went out. Press SAMPLE RATE/COLOR SPACE button to make SAMPLE RATE/COLOR SPACE indicator light. Press + or - button to select the required audio sample frequency number. Seven-segment display shows the selected number 2 (2 indicates audio sample frequency is 48KHZ). Example 3:Device front panel initial light state: FN indicator is went out, BPS/HDMI/DVI indicator is light, 7-segment LED shows 16.Now set output signal type to HDMI signal and operation ways as following. Step: Press FN button to make FN indicator is light. Press BPS/HDMI/DVI button to make BPS/HDMI/DVI indicator is light. Press + or - button to select the required output signal type. Seven-segment display shows the selected number H (H indicates output is HDMI signal). When device current state is HDMI signal with Deep Color 36bit and YUV,firstly chang HDMI signal into DVI signal, then chang DVI signal into HDMI signal, now the device state is HDMI signal with Deep Color 24bit and RGB.
