Setting Conversion Formats

Installing the MKS-8450G Format Converter Board in the MVS-8000G

enables signal video format conversions.

This operation is valid only when BB is selected in the <Ref Input Format>

Format converter (for MVS-8000G only)

Installing the MKS-8450G Format Converter Board in the switcher enables the

following signal video format conversions.

• Up-conversion: from SD (4:3) to HD (16:9)

• Down-conversion: from HD (16:9) to SD (4:3)

• Cross-conversion: from HD (720P) to HD (1080i), or from HD (1080i) to

The maximum number of input signals for which format conversion is possible

is 16 (or 8 when only one MKS-8450G board is installed), and the maximum

number of output signals is 4 (2 for output on the MVS-8000GSF).

• After format conversion, input and output signals have one-frame delays

with respect to the reference signals. To synchronize converted input signals

and unconverted input signals, it is possible to delay the unconverted input

signal by one frame (Frame Delay function).

For details, see "To delay unconverted input signals by one frame (the

Frame Delay function)" (page 1083).

• It is not possible to apply the safe title function to output signals subjected to

format conversion.

• When the input reference signal for HD system is set to Tri Sync, the format

converter function is not available.

For details, see "Switching the Input Reference Signal for HD System"

(page 1080).
