Video Output
Digital:
- SD-SDI, SMPTE, 259M, 10-bits, BNC
- HD-SDI SMPTE, 292/296, 10-bits, BNC
- Dual-link HD 4:4:4 and 2K HSDL 4:4:4
Analog:
- SD and HD Output, 12-bits, BNC
- HD: YPbPr, RGB
- SD: YPbPr, RGB (component mode) or Composite +
- Y/C (composite mode with simultaneous Y/C)
Downstream Keyer:
Will output graphics with alpha channel over video, matte or framebuffer, or framebuffer content over incoming video or matte
Audio
- 24-bit SDI embedded audio, 16 channel, 48kHz
- 24-bit AES audio, 8 channel, 96kHz or 48kHz
- 16-bit capable
Up-Conversion
- Hardware 10-bit
- Anamorphic: full-screen
- Pillar box 4:3: results in a 4:3 image in center of screen with black sidebars
- Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image with black side bars
- Zoom Letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill full screen
- Zoom Wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16:9 screen; this setting can introduce a small aspect ratio change
Down-Conversion
- Hardware 10-bit
- Anamorphic: full-screen
- Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved
- Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size
Cross-Conversion
- Hardware 10-bit
- 1080i to 720P
- 720P to 1080i
- 720P to 1080PsF
SD to SD Aspect Ratio Conversion
- Letterbox: This transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image.
- H Crop: Will produce a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
- SD Pillarbox: Will produce an image in the center of the screen with black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image in the center
- V Crop; Will transform SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image.
Reference Input
