Selecting video format

Once you have selected the interface type for the display under test, you need to select a
video output format. A format defines a set of video, timing, and sync parameters for a
specific device or standard. This section explains how to configure the generator to output
video formats that are supported by the display under test.

Important: If the display under test has not implemented hot plug correctly, you will have
to bypass hot plug detection in the generator to enable video output. See below for
procedure on bypassing hot plug detection.

Note: For more information about formats, see Chapter 6, “
