Setting Conversion Formats (4K Up-
Converter)
About the 4K up-converter
Conversion from HD format to 4K format is supported by
installing the MKS-8460X 4K format converter board.
Notes
• Dual up-converters are supported using one MKS-
8460X board.
• Up to two MKS-8460X boards can be installed in the
MVS-8000X, and only one can be installed in the MVS-
7000X.
• On the MVS-8000X, both an MKS-8460X board and an
MKS-8450X format converter board can be installed,
but only the MKS-8460X can be used as an up-
converter.
• Enabled only when the switcher signal format is set to
1080P.
Supported formats
The supported conversion formats are given below.

a) When only one MKS-8460X is used on the MVS-8000X, either FC Input
1 to 4 / 5 to 8 or FC Input 9 to 12 / 13 to 16 are enabled, depending on the
installation slot.
On the MVS-7000X, only FC Input 1 to 4 / 5 to 8 are enabled.
b) Active area is 3840×2160.
Input signal formats can be configured for each group of
four inputs (FC Input 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12, 13 to 16), but
only FC Input 1, 5, 9, and 13 can be up-converted to 4K
format.
After 4K format conversion, the output is subdivided into
four HD images.

Notes
• Only input video signals that are synchronized to a
reference signal can be converted.
• When up-converting, a 3-field delay (3 frames at 1080P)
occurs relative to the reference signal.
• The signal division method (square division or 2-sample
interleave division) after conversion for a 4K system is
determined by the setting in the Engineering Setup
>System >Format menu (7313). For non-4K systems,
square division method is applied.
