Source note

Loading capacity is recorded for pixel-to-pixel display (3.9 million applies only when the scaling function is used). asyncPlayback is recorded from the playback features the document lists (program editing and publishing, playback control of local programs, standalone USB playback); the document does not use the word 'asynchronous'. syncPlayback is recorded from the user manual V1.6.2 (connecting a device by HDMI cable and selecting the signal source to display: Android, HDMI 1 or HDMI 2); the specification lists the HDMI inputs without describing their display, and neither document uses the word 'synchronous'.
