I just got a 1292 and I began setting it up using Graham's DVD.
I had just finished centering and maxing out the rasters on all three tubes using the size and zone controls. After that I did the toe in.
I noticed that the edge of the cross hairs didn't extend to the edge of the raster. I figured this was normal, but I wanted to know how wide the image would be if ran to the edge of the rasters. I'm projecting onto a wall that I will be painting with Buer UPW paint.
Because of this I decided to hook up a source at 1080p. The first one I tried was my xbox 360, followed by my computer. Both were connected via VGA cables to a breakout cable to the 5 BNC connectors on the back.
As soon as I hooked up either source, several things happened. The size of the raster shrunk a little and the image was cut off on the right and left. Blankening had been already turned off. The vertical and horizontal values or 'size' were changed slightly despite having saved my previous work to all memory blocks. I also tried shrinking the size of the image within the raster using 'RGB size' but it seemed to shrink the raster size along with the image size because I couldn't get the entire image to be displayed at once. Using 'RGB shift' I could see one side of the image the had been chopped off by chopping off more of the other side. When the computer was hooked up, the left side that wasn't chopped off was "wrinkled". Thats the best word I can think of. Basically the brightness varied significantly forming brighter and darker vertical bars.
So am doing anything wrong here? I know that the sony 1292 can display 1080p so I don't know why I can't get the entire image onto the raster at once or why when I impute a signal it changes my 'size' setting even though I saved them for all imputes. Thanks in advance!
