Chapter 6: VideoPlex4 Control Application
The source of mode selection controls whether the VideoPlex4 output should take its timing values and resolution from the
preferred mode of the monitor that is connected, or use its internally programmed “default” mode.
NOTE: You can edit only the internal default timings in this dialog.
If “Use the Monitors Preferred Mode” is selected, but no valid EDID can be read from the attached monitor, then the VideoPlex4
firmware will program the output using the default mode timings.
The rest of the dialog is identical to that for setting the Input timings, with the exception that for the output monitors, you can
select Analog RGB (“VGA”) output as well as DVI.
All modifications to the “Output” settings can be saved as part of a .vqs file, removing the requirement to input the same settings
again. To save the settings, select the “Save” command in the File menu. To open a saved .vqs file, select the “Open” command.
Use the “Test” button when defining a default mode that you are not sure the attached monitor can support. In test mode, the
output timings are programmed, but they are not saved to non-volatile memory on the VideoPlex4 until you press the “OK”
button to accept the mode.
