2.2 Rear Panels The IRD-3101 has multiple inputs and outputs, and making space for all the necessary connectors at the rear of the frame requires a double-width rear panel. With the double-width rear panel installed, the IRD-3101 must be installed in the right-most of the two slots covered by the panel in order to mate with the panel’s connectors. -

Alternatively, the user can set the scaling mode to OFF and simply carry the AFD flags to the outputs for further processing. A card like the XVP-38xx from Miranda could then use the flag to rescale the picture properly. - Page 47 Alternatively to AFD, the user can select VLI or WSS (PAL only). The charts below show the conversions that will be performed by the IRD-3101 when Active Format Descriptor (AFD) processing is activated by selecting AUTO using the Aspect Ratio Scaling Mode pulldown on the AFD tab of the Video Output panel.
