Vidikron VL 52 User Manual

Film Mode: To smooth out moving images from interlaced, standard-definition (SD) sources, 
select Film Mode and set it to Automatic. 

In most cases, the DView detects the proper “pull-down” rate and vertical frequency. 
However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing you may wish to specify the pull-down rate 
(2:2 or 3:2) to ensure stable processing for that source. 

Auto Backlight: Select Auto Backlight from the Setup menu and set it to On to have the 
DView adjust the Backlight setting automatically, according to the ambient light level in the 
viewing area. 

OSD Timer: Use the 

 or 

 button to set the OSD Timer. This timer controls how long the 

menus remain on-screen after selecting them. Select from 0 to 60 seconds, in 10-second 
increments. When you set the OSD to 0, the menus remain on-screen until you hide them by 
pressing EXIT. 

Auto Off: Set Auto Off to 30, 60 or 120 minutes to have the DView go into standby mode 
when no source signal is present for the selected amount of time. 

When Auto Off is set to zero (0) minutes (disabled), the DView remains in normal operating 
mode, regardless of the presence or absence of an input sync signal. 

HDMI CSC (Color Space Control): If the color space of the incoming signal on the HDMI1 or 
HDMI2 input is known, select HDMI CSC from the Setup menu and set it to RGB or 
Component. 

In most situations, the Auto setting works well. 

Use the ISF Calibration menu to perform advanced picture quality adjustments. This menu 
should be used by ISF-certified technicians only. 

Picture Adjust: The controls in this menu are identical to those in the main Picture Adjust 
menu, but are accessible only by entering the ISF Calibration menu passcode. This makes it 
possible to restore the picture quality settings to what they were when the DView was 
installed, simply by recalling the “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” preset.

• Brightness: Refer to Brightness on page 29.

• Color: Refer to Color Saturation on page 31. 

• Tint: Refer to Tint on page 31. 

• Sharpness: Refer to Sharpness on page 32.

• ADC Phase Adj.: This control works similarly to the Phase adjustment for RGB signals 

(refer to Phase on page 34). Use it to improve the apparent sharpness of 720p and 
lower-resolution Component, S-Video or Composite sources. For best results, adjust ADC 
Phase while displaying a “Sharpness” pattern (Figure 4-5).
