Pixel-to-Pixel Mode
Use thissetting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode.
This modebypasses the monitor’s internal scaling function and displays images in their native resolution andaspect ratio,
with aone-to-one mapping of incoming image pixels to screen pixels:
• For incomingformats smaller than the native resolution of the window (or selected aspect ratio), the image will be
displayed inthe center ofthe window usingonly the necessary LCD pixels. For example, 480i images will only occupy
exactly 640x480 pixels in a particular channel window in Quad mode, or if thechannel is selected full screen, it will occupy
exactly 640x480 pixels in thecenter of thescreen. The surrounding screen area will be black.
