    PQM analog video in and 8-channel audio sub-module HD Conversion The X75HD model can convert any of the input signals and formats listed below to any of the specified output signals and formats. • Note: “Y” indicates that this format conversion is supported.

  • Page 45: Frequently Asked Questions

    A complement of SDTV signals can be provided on the analog and digital SDTV outputs. The X75HD adds a complement of HDTV test signals on the HDTV outputs. If the audio option is used, there are four selectable test tones for the embedded, AES and analog outputs.

  • Page 46: Fiber Optics Questions

    How does the X75 handle closed captioning? • During upconversion, the X75HD processes the EIA-608 data on line 21 in the input SDTV signal and “transcodes” it into EIA-708 on line 9 of the output HDTV signal. A reverse processes occurs for downconversion.

  • Page 47: Control Questions

    What inputs can be streamed for monitoring purposes? • Thumbnail inputs: SDI1, SDI2, HD DWN, analog, TSG1, TSG2 • Streaming inputs: Composite, S-Video, CAV, SDI, SDI2, DV, down converted HDF, HD1, HD2. Is MXF support available on the X75? • The MXF wrapper is used for compressed video streams.

  • Page 48: Video Questions

    Control panel configurations can be copied to other control panels. Once completed, a control panel configuration is downloaded to the panel. (This is a future software release.) Can the RCP-CCS-1U control the X75HD, DPS-475 and DPS-575? • Yes. However, to control the DPS-475 and DPS-575, the CCS-DPS-575 Gateway is required (up to 20 units per gateway).
  • Page 49 When will the free software for the logo generators be available? • Mid-September 2005 Does the X75HD provide frame rate conversion (59.95 <> 50)? • Frame rate conversion (59.94<>50) for HDTV is not available at this time. However, 3:2 / 2:2 and reverse 2:3 conversions are available (23.98p<>59.94i and 25p<>50i).
  • Page 50 This implementation on the X75 will be single channel. The DVI-D output on the X75HD will be used to monitor HDTV coming out of the X75HD using plasma monitors. NEO SuiteView has a DVI-V input option that supports computer outputs (RGB), but it does not support DVI-D.

  • Page 51: Audio Questions

    Using the 16 channel audio option. • The X75OPT-AS-16 (included in X75HD-AV versions) provides four groups (16 channel) embedded audio processing. Embedded audio from the HD-SDI input and SD-SDI inputs can be processed with the analog (4 channels) and digital (5 AES, 10 channels) audio and embedded on both HD-SDI and SD-SDI outputs.
  • Page 52 Can the X75 monitor audio levels on the optional streaming monitor output? • No, not at this time. However, we are willing to discuss this capability. Can the preset audio levels be changed? • Levels are preset at the factory. They can be changed if required (these are “hidden” parameters, not available to users).
