Freeze button
1
Freeze button — The Freeze button locks the output display to the current
image being input. When the freeze function is enabled, the button is lit. To
unfreeze the image, press the Freeze button again.
When the image is frozen, the Freeze button lights red. When the freeze
function is deselected, the Freeze button returns to unlit.
When an input is frozen, the video input can be removed without losing the
display image.
If the other input is then selected, the switching action deselects the Freeze
function, the frozen image is lost, and the Freeze button returns to its unlit
state.
Input buttons
Each input button selects an input to scale and output. The buttons also select
memory presets. The presets, up to three for each input, are stored values of the
user-selectable centering and sizing settings.
The Input 2 video format, resolution, and frequency must be identified using
either the front panel menus, the SIS, or the Windows Control program. See
Front Panel Operations in this chapter, chapter 4, Programmer’s Guide,
and chapter 5, Scaler Software, for more information.
