SETTINGS FOR THE OSSC AND THE SNLCAIR QL AND COMPATIBLE SYSTEMS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The OSSC in use is v1.6. The computer (Q60/Thor/QL/Aurora) is connected to the
DB15 AV3 input via an appropriately wired VGA cable (with the R, G, B, Vsync
and Csync signals fed to the OSSC).
The monitor these settings were successfully tested with is a Hyundai W220D,
which is a 22" 1680x1050 LCD monitor.

Note that after setting up everything for the Thor/QL, Q60 and Aurora (in non-QL
modes), you may save all the settings into a single profile (since they use
different resolutions, the OSSC will not mix the corresponding settings).
Only the Pre-ADC gain (0 for the QL and Aurora, around 6 for the others) will
have to be changed manually when changing the computer connected to the OSSC.

However, if you wish to use the Aurora in a QL mode (512x256 or 256x256), it
would conflict with the Q60 (1024x512) mode which requires different sampling
rates and H backporh (or synclen) timing while both using the 480p resolution of
the OSSC; in this case, you would have to save the OSSC settings for the Q60 and
the Aurora in different profiles (which could then also take into account the
different Pre-ADC gain setting values).


1.- Common settings:
    ---------------
a.- Video in proc:
 - B/Pb gain, G/Y gain, R/Pr gain: 26 (default value)
 - B/Pb offset, G/Y offset, R/Pr offset: 128 (default value)
The rest: do not care/keep default values.

b.- Settings opt:
 - Autodetect input -> Off
 - Initial input -> AV3: RGBHV
 - Link input->prof -> Off
 - Link prof->input -> AV3: RGBHV
The rest: do not care/keep default values.
Save your profile in one slot (e.g slot 0) from this menu.

c.- Audio options:
Do not care/keep default values.

d.- Compatibility:
- Full TX setup -> On
- AV3 interlace fix -> Off

e.- Post-proc.:
 - Mask brightness -> 0
 - Vertical mask -> 0 pixels
 - Horizontal mask -> 0 pixels
The rest: do not care/keep default values.

f.- Scanline opt.:
 - Scanlines -> Off
The rest: do not care/keep default values.

g.- Output opt.:
 - TX mode -> HDMI (RGB)
   (may work also in other modes, depending on your monitor).
The rest is dealt with below.

h.- Sync opt.:
Keep default values.

i.- Sampling opt.:
 - <Adv. timing> -> [whatever active resolution] -> OK to enter sub-menu:
   - H. s.rate adj -> 0 (i.e. always keep this setting at its defult value).
 - 480p in sampler -> DTV 480p
 - Allow upsample2x -> Off (On may work too: choose best picture)
 - Allow TVP HPLL2x -> On (Off works too: choose best picture)
The rest is dealt with below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: when synced to a particular display mode, the OSSC always shows
under its "<Adv. timing>" sub-menu entry the mode it is using for the current
input signal; changing this mode (with left/right remote control keys) and
pressing OK to edit the settings in that sub-menu won't allow you to change the
*active* settings and would only mess up with other settings you already set for
different resolutions. So, when editing the "<Adv. timing>" settings, do
*always* accept the OSSC suggestion and press the OK remote key without changing
the mode first (i.e. never use the left and right remote keys while the OSSC
displays "<Adv. timing>").
