Vidikron VP-5000VHDA User Manual

Overscan: Image Overscan pushes the outside edge of the active picture area of the video 
signal out beyond the edge of the display area. 

Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television sets 
may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Over scan effectively trims 
away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to fill the 
display area.

Select from 1% to 10% of Overscan, as desired.

For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Overscan is generally not necessary or desirable.

For each input, the PlasmaView VHD lets you save image quality settings as presets that you 
can recall at a later time. You can create up to four presets per input and resolution. Use the 
Memory Presets menu to recall saved image presets, or to save image settings in the 
“Custom 1” or “Custom 2” memory location. 

 

The currently-selected preset is indicated by a “

7

” to its left; in the example shown here, ISF 

Night is selected.

You should save changes to any of the following settings to a preset; otherwise they will be 
lost when a new input source or resolution is selected:

• Brightness

• Contrast

• Color saturation

• Tint

• Sharpness

To reset the Custom 1 and Custom 2/THX image presets to their factory defaults, select 
Factory Default and press ENTER. 

Information  

Select Information from the Main Menu to see information that uniquely identifies your 
display: its serial number, the installed hardware and firmware versions and the firmware 
version build date. Should you ever need to contact Vidikron Technical Support, this 
information will help them answer your questions or resolve product performance issues.
