About 4K format
In 4K format, a single 4K image is split and transferred as
four HD images.
Image processing on the switcher is also performed on
each of the four images subdivided using 2-sample
interleave division method (2SI) or square division method
(SQD).
In 4K format, the maximum number of switcher banks,
keys, inputs, and outputs that are available is as follows.

a) When the signal format is 3840×2160PsF, sub keys cannot be used.
b) Output signals can be assigned to the multi viewer output connectors.
c) Two format converter outputs are designated for output signal conversion.
For details, see "Setting the Internal Format Converters" (page 448) and
"Assigning a signal to a format converter output" (page 449).
For details about restrictions of functions and settings for
the 4K format, see "4K Format Restrictions" (page 511).
Note
On the XVS-9000, only the 2-sample interleave division
method is supported.
Restrictions on re-entry by signal format
Restrictions apply to re-entry signal selection, depending
on the signal format and M/E configuration.
For details, see "Re-entry signal restrictions" (page 75).
