- Page 32 Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation This control allows the user to define the position of timecode when the 2:3 sequence begins. The assumption is made that the start of the 2:3 sequence is aligned with the start of program and under normal working practices, that the start of program is coincident with an integer hour value.

Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation This control allows the user to define the starting position of the 2:3 sequence with respect to timecode. It is active only when 2:3 is set to Output timecode and the Timecode generator is set to Drop-Frame, or, when following input timecode, the source has Drop-Frame Timecode present. - Page 34 Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation 6.4.8.4 Scaler The Scaler offers preset controls for management of the aspect ratio. The following controls are available: Scaler Presets • Use presets: Enables all presets • SD input is 702: Use for SD incoming content that uses a 702 sample line rather than a 720 sample line.
- Page 35 Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation Signaling Src When an SD source contains more than one style of signalling, select the appropriate item: • SMPTE 2016 (default) • L23 ETSI • L23 AFD • VI SMPTE • VI AFD Alternate Center Cut Alternate center cut is Off by default.
- Page 36 Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation HD Input Format For HD/UHD inputs, manually select forced format from the list: • Normal (default): use default aspect ratio • 14:9 pillarbox: preserves the original aspect ratio of HD content with a 14:9 aspect ratio, with bars visible at the sides of the screen.
- Page 37 Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation In the SD domain, take care to avoid a line clash if embedded VITC and SMPTE 2016 are Note: both enabled. In the event of both VITC and SMPTE being required: • For SD 625 signals, SMPTE2016 is relocated to the line before the VITC line, i.e. if VITC is at default 19 and 21, SMPTE2016 will be placed on either 18 or 20 respectively when there is a clash.
- Page 38 Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation Control Options Out line Selects the output line on which L23 information is placed. The range is from line 10 to line 23 in one-line steps. Default = line 23 Out line status Displays line number of where the signaling is placed.

May be useful when HD source contains excessive enhancement (ringing), which may be unacceptable in UHD. • Normal (default): Passes all source vertical frequencies without attenuation or boost.
- Page 41 Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation Vertical Transient Enhance Sharp horizontal edge detail in the HD source, such as captions and graphics, is identified. The gradient of these transients is increased to occupy the full UHD bandwidth. Some degradation of fine textures may be evident when using higher settings.
- Page 42 Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation • Wide 1: Allows some alias frequencies to pass, which may give an apparent increase in picture sharpness. • Wide 2: Allows a wider band of alias frequencies to pass. H Enhance Level Applies horizontal frequency boost to make image visually sharper. Adaptive processing prevents an increase in noise level and excessive boost on textures.

Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation • Normal: Optimized bandwidth setting. Passes all horizontal frequencies compatible with the output format. • Wide 1: For HD to SD conversion, allows some alias frequencies to pass which may give an apparent increase in picture sharpness. Will have limited effect in HD to HD conversion. - Page 44 Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation source, giving consistent and repeatable delay. If the video output frame rate differs from the genlock source frame rate, the output will 'clock lock' to the genlock source. Clock lock ensures that the output audio 48kHz clock remains locked to the genlock source.
