Notes:
• In the case of 1080pSF 23.98 input - and when 1080i 59.94 (or 525) is selected as an output format, the FS1 automatically does 3:2 pulldown to get the correct frame rate.
• When passing 24 or 60 frame rate video, output is high definition.

Up-Conversion

• Hardware 10-bit
• Anamorphic: fullscreen
• Pillarbox 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: fullscreen
• 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


Timecode

• SDI RP188 via SDI BNC


Reference Input

• Analog Color Black (1V) or Composite Sync (2 or 4V)
• Looping, nonterminating


Network Interface

Version 2.2.0.48 has the same new feature set as 2.2.0.47, but adds several improvements:

 

  1. Improved lock on upconverted composite video.
  2. Under some circumstances the R-y component of SDI or Component video output could be lost; this has been fixed in this version.
  3. Improved closed captioning on the composite video output when 720p output format has been selected for the SDI output.

Version 2.1.2.55 software adds a number of major new features and improvements (for a complete list of features and changes, read the included release notes). New features include:

  • 16 channel audio support mapped to any 8 outputs. All 16 channels of SDI audio passed if present.
  • Sidebar keyer added, with adjustable width, status screens and associated alarms.
  • Front Panel Lock out can be enabled or disabled from the web browser interface (only).
  • SD Aspect Ratio can now also be controlled via GPI In Response.
