Output Format Selection
The current Format, Frame and Rate settings will be indicated by BLUE front panel buttons.
Change Output Mode To change the output format, we recommend that you work from left to right on the control panel.
720p59.94
Select the desired format line rate, frame type and frame rate via the control panel buttons, which will
turn GREEN if available. If a selection is NOT available, other buttons will flash GREEN momentarily to
indicate permissible selections.
During selection of a new output mode, the LCD menu will display the pending conversion, as seen in the
Accept Cancel
graphic. After selecting the desired line rate, frame type and frame rate, press the "Accept" soft button
along side the LCD menu to enable the new selection. Press "Cancel" to abandon the selection.
486 and 576 Formats
The 486 and 576 Format buttons indicate the NTSC and PAL standard definition interlaced formats,
respectively. The numbers refer to the active lines in each standard (486 for NTSC, 576 for PAL). When
the 486 button is pressed, the system will default to an interlaced (I), 59.94 setting in the Frame and Rate
sections. Likewise, when the 576 button is selected, the system will default to an interlaced (I), 50 setting. The
LCD Menu will display NTSC or PAL as the pending output mode.
720 Formats
The 720 Format button will indicate that the line rate of the input or output is 720. When chosen as the
output format, the P button will turn GREEN automatically, as a Progressive frame is the only permissible
type for 720 signals. You can then select a frame rate of either 59.94 (for 720p59.94) or 50 (for 720p50) to
define the desired output format.
1080 Formats
The 1080 Format button will indicate that the line rate of the input or output is 1080. When 1080 is chosen
as the output format, the P, I and PSF buttons are all permissible frame types. Select your desired output
Frame type, and then select the desired Rate button to finalize the output format selection. If you select a
frame rate that is not permissible for a given Line rate and Frame type, the buttons for the valid rates will
flash green momentarily.
2K 1080 Formats
The 2K 1080 video formats are not currently available. They will be added in a future software release.
