Kaleido-Solo | 17
50Hz i/PsF
When the input signal is 1080i 50 Hz, it is not possible to automatically detect whether the video is 25 Hz PsF video or
50 Hz interlaced. If PsF is known to be present it must be manually selected, so that the Kaleido-Solo can properly
process the video image (de-interlacing for interlaced video; field-merging for PsF video).
Interlaced:
Use when the input video is in interlaced format. The video will be de-interlaced.
PsF:
Use when the input video is in PsF format. The video will be field-merged.
Monitor PowerSaving
Off:
A valid HDMI output is always present even when there is no valid input selected.
On:
When an invalid input is detected, the HDMI output will be turned off to let the monitor go into its
power saving mode.
Test Pattern
The user can replace the displayed video with a test signal.
Select from these choices:
Off:
The input video appears at the output.
Color Bars:
Sends a 75% color bar test pattern (100% white), along with audio test tones (a continuous tone on
right channel with pulsed tone on left channel in every pair) to the Kaleido-Solo output.
Lip-sync:
Sends a special test signal comprising color bars and tone plus a visual element that is used to align
audio-video delays in a processing path.
The special test signal consists of 75% color bars within which a white square is inserted every 4 seconds for a
duration of 10 frames. Simultaneously with the beginning of the first field of video containing the white square, the
audio channels at the output are pulsed with a tone lasting 250 ms.
