Direct Video Modes

Passthru is as if the GEM had a 240p/480i output resolution option. It's a 240p/480i output mode that uses the scaler to buffer a few lines of video to stabilize the video timing

DV1 is zero buffering and sends the native vertical resolution, usually 240p or 480i over HDMI. Horizontal resolution is multiplied to meet HDMI minimum clock frequency requirements.

FX-Direct packages the native resolution in a higher standard resolution (1280x720p) output frame that might be more compatible with switches and other equipment.

Direct Video Lag or Latency

DV1 = zero lag
