Chapter 3: Using the ENXTV-X3
3.1 PC side VGA resolution setting
ENXTV-X3 can be used independent of PC system for a full screen display. In addition to the full screen display, when it is connected in conjunction with the computer system, the PIP sub video window can also be displayed at the top of PC monitor screen to let the user watch TV while using the computer at the same time, or just enjoy full screen TV viewing. When the ENXTV-X3 is used as a standalone TV box (computer is turned off), it is completely independent with the computers VGA or monitor screen settings. Resolution and other adjustments depend on the monitor or the ENXTV-X3 settings. While in PIP mode (computer is turned on and in PIP mode), in order to have the optimized resolution and performance, we recommend setting the computer VGA in WUXGA mode (1920x1080 or 1920x1200@60Hz) and monitors refresh rate at 60Hz. See the illustration computer VGA settings below. 1. Under Windows systems, the VGA resolution setting page can be invoked by a right click on the mouse when it is pointed at an empty desktop area. 2. When the Display properties page is shown, select the recommended value 1920x1080 or 1920x1200. 3. Click on the Advanced button, to select the monitor refresh rate, the recommended value is 60Hz 4. Click on OK to close the property page. 5. Windows system will change the display mode to your setting and ask whether to use this display mode or not, please click on OK to confirm the setting.
