3. Video Configuration By default the output is set to Auto 2 1 The selection Auto 2 1 means the Radiance automatically reads the EDID for the devices connected to both outputs giving priority to Output 2 and automatically selects the appropriate output resolution That is if an active device is connected to output 2 the EDID from that device is read to determine the optimal video output resolution and the Radiance automatically selects the specified resolution If no device is connected to output 2 or the device connected to output 2 is turned off the Radiance uses the EDID from the device connected to Output 1 and sets the output resolution appropriately Output 1 can have priority by selecting Auto 1 2 from the Video Output Select Menu For Auto modes the output vertical rate is selected based on the input vertical rate For example input formats 480i60 720p60 1080i60 automatically select a vertical output rate of 60 Hertz Input formats 576150 720p50 and 1080i50 automatically select a vertical output rate of 50 Hz For a 1080p24 input format a 24 Hz output vertical rate is selected if the display supports a 24 Hz output vertical rate otherwise a 60 Hz rate is selected For analog displays and digital displays that do not properly support EDID the output mode must be selected using the commands shown below Video Output Setup Menu The V deo Output Select Menu is used to select output settings Mode CMS an
