Sony MVS -8000X Quick Setup Manual page 46

You will see that if it was necessary to change the format, the column marked "Signal Format" is in
yellow. This means you've selected it, but not executed it. Don't execute yet, we're not finished! At the
bottom of the menu is a group box titled "Ref Input Format". This is where you need to set whether you
are using Black Burst (recommended) or Tri-Level sync. As mentioned earlier in this document, Tri-Level
sync is only really needed for 24P production. You must use Black Burst if you have the internal format
converter board(s).
Please set each of your components to your house reference type and the same system format using the
above procedure. If it is different it will also show up as yellow. If you are in 480i, you will need to also
set your aspect ratio (obviously, HD should be 16:9). To set, press the ASPECT button.
Just select one in the "Screen Aspect" group and everything will be set. If you change something on this
page, you must press ASPECT EXECUTE before returning.
If you set your aspect ratio, please go back one menu to FORMAT. You can either use the "web browser"
forward and back buttons at the top of the screen or you can just press FORMAT at the very bottom to
jump back to the main level. You can also jump directly back to menu page 7313.
