Notes
• The input/output mode sets whether the NMI or SDI
signal input/output is used as a reference for the
whole unit. The input/output mode cannot be set
independently for each port.
• When the input/output mode is set to "SDI," signals
output from NMI lag by one frame. When the input/
output mode is set to "NMI," signals output from
SDI lead by one frame. In either case, the phase of
the audio signal and TC signal are offset.
• Input signals can use either SDI or NMI only.
• When the input/output mode is set to "NMI" and the
video signal format is QFHD (3840:2160), 1× or 2×
speed recording can be selected. When the video
signal format is HD (1920:1080), only 1× speed
recording can be selected. HD (1280:720) video
signal format cannot be selected.
