Setup for the Whole System
• When making DME settings for SWR2 (the second switcher), for the
first DME, select [DME3] in the <1st DME> group. Turn all buttons in
the <2nd DME> group off.
Setup in “Dual Simul” mode
When the system operation mode (see page 196) is set to “Dual Simul,” the
following setting is required for setup of the two switchers and connected DME
units.
In the <Setup Target> group, set the [System 1] or [System 2] button to ON,
then carry out the setup. You can also set both to ON, and make the settings
simultaneously on the two systems.
Setting the Signal Format and Screen Aspect Ratio
(Format Menu)
To set the format, that is, the frame frequency and number of scan lines handled
by each device, and the screen aspect ratio, use the System>Format menu.
To display the Format menu
In the Engineering Setup menu, select VF1 ‘System’ and HF3 ‘Format.’
