Video Input Source [1..3] OptimalDefinition Threshold60fps
For each video input, this setting tells the system the lowest resolution where it should transmit 
60fps. So for all resolutions lower than this, the maximum transmitted framerate would be 
30fps, while above this resolution 60fps would also be possible, if the available bandwidth is 
adequate.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
512 _ 2 8 8 :  Set the threshold to 512x288.
76 8 _ 44 8:  Set the threshold to 768x448.
1024 _ 576:  Set the threshold to 1024x576.
12 8 0 _ 72 0 :  Set the threshold to 1280x720.
1920_1080:  Set the threshold to 1920x1080.
Never:  Do not set a threshold for transmitting 60fps.
Example:
 Video Input Source 1 OptimalDefinition Threshold60fps: 1280 _ 720
Video Input Source [1..3] Quality
When encoding and transmitting video there will be a trade-off between high resolution and 
high framerate. For some video sources it is more important to transmit high framerate than 
high resolution and vice versa. The Quality setting specifies whether to give priority to high 
frame rate or to high resolution for a given source.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Motion:  Gives the highest possible framerate. Used when there is a need for higher frame 
rates, typically when a large number of participants are present or when there is a lot of 
motion in the picture.
Sharpness:  Gives the highest possible resolution. Used when you want the highest quality of 
detailed images and graphics.
Example:
 Video Input Source 1 Quality: Motion
Video MainVideoSource
Define which video input source shall be used as the main video source.
Requires user role:  USER
Value space:  
Range:  Select the source to be used as the main video source.
Example:
 Vid e o M a i nVid e oSou rc e: 1
Video DefaultPresentationSource
Define which video input source shall be used as the default presentation source when you 
press the Presentation key on the remote control. If using a Touch controller this setting has no 
effect. The Video Input Source n Connector setting defines which input connector to use for 
input source n.
Requires user role:  USER
Value space:  
Range:  Select the video source to be used as the presentation source.
Example:
 Video DefaultPresentationSource: 3
Video Input HDMI [1..2] RGBQuantizationRange
All devices with HDMI inputs should follow the rules for RGB video quantization range defined in 
CEA-861. Unfortunately some devices do not follow the standard and this configuration may be 
used to override the settings to get a perfect image with any source.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Auto:  RGB quantization range is automatically selected based on the RGB Quantization 
Range bits (Q0, Q1) in the AVI infoframe. If no AVI infoframe is available, RGB quantization 
range is selected based on video format according to CEA-861-E.
Full:  Full quantization range. The R, G, B quantization range includes all code values (0 - 
255). This is defined in CEA-861-E.
Limited:  Limited Quantization Range. R, G, B quantization range that excludes some code 
values at the extremes (16 - 235). This is defined in CEA-861-E.
Example:
 Video Input 1 HDMI 1 RGBQuantizationRange: Auto

Video Input DVI [3]/[2,3] RGBQuantizationRange
NOTE: Codec C40 has one DVI input (DVI-I 3). Codec C60 has two DVI inputs (DVI-I 2 and 3).
All devices with DVI inputs should follow the rules for RGB video quantization range defined in 
CEA-861. Unfortunately some devices do not follow the standard and this configuration may be 
used to override the settings to get a perfect image with any source. The default value is set to 
Full because most DVI sources expects full quantization range.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Auto:  RGB quantization range is automatically selected based on video format according to 
CEA-861-E. CE video formats will use limited quantization range levels. IT video formats will 
use full quantization range levels.
Full:  Full quantization range. The R, G, B quantization range includes all code values (0 - 
255). This is defined in CEA-861-E.
Limited:  Limited Quantization Range. R, G, B quantization range that excludes some code 
values at the extremes (16 - 235). This is defined in CEA-861-E.
Example:
 Video Input 1 DVI 3 RGBQuantizationRange: Full
Video Input DVI [3]/[2,3] Type
NOTE: Codec C40 has one DVI input (DVI-I 3). Codec C60 has two DVI inputs (DVI-I 2 and 3).
The official DVI standard supports both digital and analog signals. In most cases the default 
AutoDetect setting can detect whether the signal is analog RGB or digital. However, in some 
rare cases when DVI-I cables are used (these cables can carry both the analog and digital 
signals) the auto detection fails. This setting makes it possible to override the AutoDetect and 
select the correct DVI video input. 
This setting should also be used if the video input is an analog component (YPbPr) type signal. 
This is used by some cameras (Sony EVI-HD1) and DVD/Blu-ray players. Since it is not possible 
to auto detect the difference between AnalogRGB and AnalogYPbPr, the AnalogYPbPr setting 
must be selected. 
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
AutoDetect:  Set to AutoDetect to automatically detect if the signal is analog RGB or digital. 
D igital:  Set to Digital to force the DVI video input to Digital when using DVI-I cables with both 
analog and digital pins and AutoDetect fails. 
AnalogRGB:  Set to AnalogRGB to force the DVI video input to AnalogRGB when using DVI-I 
cables with both analog and digital pins and AutoDetect fails. 
AnalogYPbPr:  Set to AnalogYPbPr to force the DVI video input to AnalogYPbPr, as the 
component (YPbPr) signal cannot be auto detected. 
Example:
 Video Input DVI 3 Ty pe: AutoDetect
Video Layout Scaling
Define how the system shall adjust the aspect ratio for images or frames when there is a 
difference between the image and the frame it is to be placed in.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Off:  No adjustment of the aspect ratio.
On:  Let the system automatically adjust aspect ratio.
Example:
 Video Layout Scaling: On

11 3
Video Layout ScaleToFrame
Define what to do if the aspect ratio of a video input source doesn't match the aspect ratio of 
the corresponding image frame in a composition. For example if you have a 4:3 input source 
(like XGA) to be displayed on a 16:9 output (like HD720).
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Manual:  If the difference in aspect ratio between the video input source and the target image 
frame is less than the Video Layout ScaleToFrameThreshold setting (in percent), the image is 
stretched to fit. If not, the system will maintain the original aspect ratio.
MaintainAspectRatio:  Maintain the aspect ratio of the input source, and fill in black in the rest 
of the frame (letter boxing or pillar boxing).
S t r e t c hTo F i t :  Stretch (horizontally or vertically) the input source to fit into the image frame. 
NOTE: The general limitation is that you cannot upscale in one direction and at the same 
time downscale in the other direction. In such situations the codec will apply letterboxing.
Example:
 Video Layout ScaleToFrame: MaintainAspectRatio
Video Layout ScaleToFrameThreshold
Only applicable if the Video Layout ScaleToFrame setting is set to manual. If the difference 
in aspect ratio between the video input source and the target image frame is less than the 
ScaleToFrameThreshold setting (in percent), the image is stretched to fit. If not, the system will 
maintain the original aspect ratio. 
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Range:  Select a value from 0 to 100 percent.
Example:
 Video Layout ScaleToFra m eThreshold: 5

Video SelfviewControl AutoResizing
The size of the self view frame can be configured to automatically change according to the 
following rules. The size is reduced from full screen to PiP (picture-in-picture) when there is a 
change in a frame that overlaps with the self view frame. The size is increased from PiP to full 
screen when nothing else is displayed on the monitor. The last rule does not apply to monitors 
with MonitorRole set to First.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Off:  Self view will not be automatically resized.
On:  Self view is automatically resized as described above.

Video Output HDMI [1] RGBQuantizationRange
All devices with HDMI outputs should follow the rules for RGB video quantization range defined 
in CEA-861. Unfortunately some devices do not follow the standard and this configuration may 
be used to override the settings to get a perfect image with any display. The default value is set 
to Full because most HDMI displays expects full quantization range.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Auto:  RGB quantization range is automatically selected based on the RGB Quantization 
Range bits (Q0, Q1) in the AVI infoframe. If no AVI infoframe is available, RGB quantization
