NETWORK BIT DEPTH
Figure 13-2. The Network Bit Depth drop-down menu
Network bit depth refers to the bit depth at which video data is encapsulated, packetized and sent to
connected fixtures.
Front-side processing is always 12 bit and is unrelated to Network bit depth. Processing bit depth is always 16
bit and is also unrelated to Network bit depth.
By default, network bit depth is 12 bit, however can be changed to 8 or 10 bit. Reducing bit depth allows for
increased pixel capacity at the cost of image quality. Depending on the source this can also affect the
adjustment of parameters such as RGB gain, brightness and contrast. The network bit depth should always be
equal or better than the input source bit depth. For example, DVI is 8 bit and SDI is 10 bit.

INTERNAL
The internal setting allows an overall refresh rate for the processor to work from 23.98 up to 60 fps.
Irrespective of the input source frame rate. The processor will automatically compensate where the source
frame rate and the internal refresh rates are different.
REFERENCE IN
Tessera M2 and SX40 processors can synchronise their system and panel refresh to an external bi-level or tri-
level reference. The processor will automatically compensate for sources that do not match the refresh rate of
the external reference. The external reference can also be another Tessera processor with a source connected.
LOCKING TO VIDEO INPUTS
Tessera processors can lock their refresh rate to the incoming source, regardless of the inputs. The processor
will automatically compensate for sources that do not match the selected source refresh rate.
