If the set value “Graphic Res.” is more than the permissible resolution video output, the graphics window will set the most appropriate resolution.
If the value is “TV System Res.”, then use the appropriate resolution of the current mode of video output.
For example:
If you select the video output mode (TV System) 1080i-50, the video will be played with a resolution of 1920×1080, and graphics (Graphic Res. – the menu graphic resolution) can be drawn with a resolution of (720×576, 1280×720, 1920×1080) that is, you can choose any resolution for the graphics menu, but lower resolution than the video output will be scaled to the resolution of video output. If the menu item “Graphic Res” is set to “TV System Res.”, it will use the resolution that corresponds to the current mode of video output, that is 1920×1080.
The possible values:
TV System | Video Resolution | Graphic Resolution |
---|---|---|
