This section provides basic instructions for using the WSR command
(

WindowSourceRectangle

). The command enables you to define a precise

portion of an input source, which is then mapped to the output using the WDR
command (

WindowDestinationRectangle

).

Please note:

By default,

WSR

shows the entire source image as defined by the

horizontal and vertical dimensions of the selected RGB input.

For a video input,

WSR

defaults to 720 x 480 for NTSC and 720 x 574

for PAL.

Using the command, you can “jump” a source image’s size and position from
one setting to another instantly, or transition the image between settings with a
duration of up to 128 seconds.

Use the following steps to crop a source image.

1.

Request help text for the

WindowSourceRectangle

command. Type:

H WSR

Enter

Figure 3-11.

Help Text — Window Source Rectangle Command

2.

Query the input timing to verify the actual dimensions of the source.
This gives you a basis for further scaling. Type:

INTM <input #>

Enter

3.

Query the current size and position of the image: Type:

WSR <input #>

Enter

4.

If desired, reset the source image to its default full screen value. Type:

RSR <input #>

Enter

5.

Scale and position the image as desired. Type:

WSR <input #> <x> <y> <width> <height>

<duration>

Enter

Note that the

x

and

y

parameters define the coordinates of the first

pixel located at the top left of the image. The width and height
parameters then define the size of the image.
