Nº40 Media Console Menu System
Main text position
Modern video systems need to accommodate a wide variety of
aspect ratios, ranging from an almost-square 1.33:1 to an extreme
2.35:1 for some movies. This wide variation of aspect ratios can
sometimes lead to menus and messages being displayed on a
portion of the screen you cannot actually see.
To avoid this problem, the Nº40 provides a way of defining the
location of the upper left corner of the reliably-visible screen.
When you choose the Set Left Hand Side submenu item a line
appears along the left side of the screen. Using the left/right arrows
(or the knobs on the front of the Nº40), move the line left or right
as needed until it aligns with the left edge of your screen.
When you choose the Set Screen Top submenu item, a line appears
along the top of the screen. Using the up/down arrows (or the
knobs on the front of the Nº40), move the line up or down as
needed until it aligns with the top edge of your screen.
The Nº40 will now display all of its menu and message information
below and to the right of this “top/left corner” you have now
defined.
Control Options
There are a number of control options available in the Nº40 that
provide for extensive customizing of the user interface. Some of
these are aimed primarily at supporting custom installation profes-
sionals by giving them the tools they need to do their jobs better.
Others are simple and easily accessed by the owner to make using
the Nº40 easier.
Teach IR
The Nº40 itself can transmit all of the IR commands to which it can
respond, from its IR window (on the Nº40 Video Processor). This
ability enables you (or your installer) to teach a learning remote
both the standard commands available from the Nº40 remote and a
number of other, optional commands that you might find useful.
When using the Nº40 itself to teach new commands to your remote
control, the learning
