ity to use digital audio via the monitor . Since the sound can
be output via S/P-DIF, this functionality should be activated .
This happens in the Media Manager of the system . The type
of digital audio transfer can be set in the settings of the Media
Manager . There, you use the settings for “Image, Sound” and
the “HDMI sound” . This allows you to set whether your digital
audio should be made audible over HDMI or over S/P-DIF . If
you have connected an analog audio output, it will always play
the audio .
Please note that not all screen resolutions may be possible
on your particular monitor . This is why the system gives a 30
second time span to the user, in which the resolution must be
confirmed . If it is not confirmed, the resolution reverts to the
last selected resolution .
If you select “Screen1” to be a VGA mode, you can also select
a second simultaneous screen . Bogart SE then switches to
the so-called dual-monitor mode . Screen 1 displays the actual
user interface, while screen 2 displays video footage .
If you have opted for the single monitor VGA mode, you can
(depending on the system) select between “Single monitor”
and “Dual monitor” use . A one monitor set-up shows the user-
interface and video footage on the VGA screen, in two monitor
mode, the user interface and video footage are split: Interface
in VGA, video on the TV screen . Using the “Single Monitor”
mode activates the “Play as” button below, so that you may
use it to determine the type of play back: The options are
“Field”, “Frame” or “Deinterlace” .
The “Field” option has the advantage that it doesn’t create
movement artefacts like “Frame” does, but on the downside,
the vertical resolution is lower .
The option called “Deinterlace” has complete resolution, much
like the ‘Frame’ option, but any stripe patterns within moving
objects are reduced as much as possible . Depending on the
model type, the number of visible frames per second may be
reduced . Because VGA is not perfectly suited for video play
back, there are some disadvantages in doing this . There are
the above mentioned movement artefacts, but in addition also
some jerky movement and so-called ‘tearing’ effects, par-
ticularly during camera pans . Even the color tones may look
different . On the other hand, the advantage of VGA lies in the
flicker-free display, much like modern 100 Hz flat-screen TVs .
The single-monitor VGA mode is therefore a kind of compro-
mise . More details on this subject can be found in Chapter 5:
VGA and DVI mode .
Note: When you first switch to VGA, you may see different, ad-
ditional VGA modes in the list. This is because of a comparison
with the monitor that has been connected and which may allow
higher resolutions.
16:9 as 21:9 Cinemascope: If you have activated the Cinema-
scope product, this will allow you to switch your 16:9 screen to
a 21:9 presentation .
SCART output: If your system is provided with a SCART Video
Out . This will allow you to switch between “CVBS” and “YC” . If
your video recorder supports a YC signal, please choose this
option .
In devices with a SCART output this delivers an RGB signal
of higher quality than Y/C . However, this can only be set for a
television . A video recording will normally only have a CVBS
signal .
If you are working in dual-monitor mode, you’ll find that the
button ‘Screen 2- Options’ has become available . This function
allows you to set the second screen content, whenever the
monitor is not used for play back . You can choose a still image
from the image pool . This menu is activated when you choose
an image . If the selected image is smaller than the screen size,
you can have it displayed in original size or tiled .
The menu “Change color” allows you to change the menu col-
ors . In “Change color” . it is possible to change the colors for
the background, the buttons and the texts separately . It is also
possible to set the hue and the saturation of the colors . The
color saturation can be changed for every color palette . If the
saturation is set to 0%, only the color white will be selectable .
Note: The saturation for the text color is set to 0% or white, the
first time it is accessed. Should you want to change this text
color, you should first set the saturation in order to get a color
selection.
The ‘Standard color’ button returns all choices to the default
color theme . Color selection is divided in two color scales . In
order to change them, you should change the “color scheme”
setting . If you prefer to use the color theme based on the
Smart Edit look, you can even chose that . The changes are
shown immediately in a small preview screen . Make sure that
the colors you choose fit well, remember that the changes will
also affect the audio envelope display, which can be difficult to
read if the colors are too unusual . You should always check if
the colors you choose are beneficial everywhere .
If you have a color scheme that you would like to save, you
should click on Archive . This calls up the known archive struc-
ture to load, save and delete archive entries . This way, your fa-
vorites schemes can be loaded back any time . In addition, the
list contains some default color schemes . The entries found in
the list depend very much on the color scheme you are using
at the time . This means that when you have set the option
“Color scheme” to “Bogart SE”, you will automatically get to
the corresponding archive . A color of the ‘Bogart SE’ color
scheme that has been saved will only be found in the archive if
this scheme has previously been set by you . The other archive
entries are stored under the Smart Edit color scheme .
