  • Page 23: Video Format

    2KSDI-Mini User's Manual VICTOREM 6.4.2 Video Format Use the Resolution drop down list to chose the camera's output resolution. The resolution selection overrides the color sampling and frame rate options. For example if the current color sampling is set to 4:4:4 RGB and the resolution is changed to 1080i, the color sampling will be automatically switched to 4:2:2 YCbCr.

  • Page 24: Exposure Time

    2KSDI-Mini User's Manual VICTOREM Figure 10. Exposure view 6.5.1 Exposure Time Use the slider bar to or enter a value to set the exposure time.
