Advanced Adjustments
This section describes the following additional settings that you can control using the
Graphics to SDI page:

Adjusting the Desktop Area
By default, the entire desktop is converted to SDI output. If the desktop is smaller than the
size of the SDI output, it will be scaled to fit. If the desktop is larger than the SDI output, it
will be cropped to fit. Instead of using the entire desktop, you can specify a region of the
desktop to convert to SDI output as follows:
In the Region of Interest group box, adjust the region size by specifying the X Offset and
Y Offset values. Either enter pixel values directly into the corresponding text boxes or
click the up and down arrows by the appropriate box.
Note: The X and Y values indicate the pixel distance of the upper left corner of the output
box from the upper left corner of the desktop.
