| Lock Tuner Channel
|
| This option will only appear if using the Lock Tuner option. This specifies the channel the set-top box outputs to on a Coaxial video feed, usually channel 3 or 4.
|
| COM Port
|
| This option specifies the COM port that a Serial Port controlled External Tuning device is connected to.
|
|
|
| Select Cable/Satellite Box Model
|
| Specifies the make and model, or description, of the Digital Cable or Satellite set-top box being controlled by the External Tuning device.
|
|
|
| Simulate "Enter" after channel change
|
| Some set-top boxes will not change channels at all unless the user hits "Enter" or "OK" after entering the channel number. Enable this option if the set-top box for this Source behaves in this manner.
|
|
|
| Pad channels with leading zeroes
|
| Specifies the number of digits a set-top box requires to change channels. For example, a box may require the user enter "013" to get to channel 13; this corresponds to a "pad channels" setting of 3.
|
|
|
| Time between transmissions
|
| The time, in milliseconds, that Beyond TV should wait before sending the next button press when changing channels.
|
|
|
| Repeat rate
|
| The number of times Beyond TV should rapidly repeat a single button press to ensure that the set-top box receives it. Increase this number if the set-top box is not receiving digits, and decrease it if the set-top box is receiving duplicate digits.
|
|
|
| Send "Channel Down" before channel change
|
| Some set-top boxes, when tuned to an invalid channel, will require the user to hit the Channel Down or Channel Up button before changing channels again. Enable this option if the set-top box being used behaves in this manner.
|
| · | Brightness
|
| Adjusts the brightness level of the overall picture. Raise this value if the entire picture is too dim, and lower it if the entire picture is too bright. This corresponds to the "Brightness" setting on a television set.
|
|
|
| · | Saturation
|
| Adjusts the amount of white mixed with colors in the picture. Raise this value if the color in the picture is too pale, and lower it if the color in the picture is too intense. This corresponds to the "Color" setting on a television set.
|
|
|
| · | Contrast
|
| Adjusts the level of similarity between light and dark in the picture. Raise this value if blacks appear as grey, and lower it if dim scenes in the picture are nearly invisible, but brightly lit scenes are intense. This corresponds to the "Contrast" or "Picture" setting on a television set.
|
|
|
| · | Hue
|
| Adjusts the bias towards red or green in the picture. Raise this value if there is too much red in the picture, and lower it if there is too much green. This corresponds to the "Tint" setting on a television set.
|
| * Settings marked with an asterisk should be made automatically by the Setup Wizard. It is not recommended that the user change such values manually, as such will most likely cause undesired results.
