Setting The Signal Format (Format Menu) - Sony MVS-8000 User Manual

Setting the Signal Format (Format Menu)

To set the format, that is, the frame frequency and number of scan lines handled
by each device, use the System >Format menu.
To display the Format menu
In the Engineering Setup menu, select VF1 'System' and HF3 'Format.'
Note
After changing any of the following settings, be sure to press [Execute] (or [FC
Format Execute] for changing the format converter signal format) to save the
new values. If you want to cancel the settings and return to the original state,
press [Clear] without pressing [Execute] or [FC Format Execute]. When you
press [Execute], some data is lost (such as frame memory images). If you press
[FC Format Execute], memory is not initialized, and this data is not lost.
When using 720P format (on a 4M/E or 3M/E system)
On a 4M/E system or a 3M/E system with a board with multi-format support,
it is not possible to use an M/E reentry signal in an overlaid manner on the key
bus or utility 1 bus even when not using the color corrector.
Example 1: When M/E-1 is selected on the M/E-2 background A bus (or
background B bus, key bus, utility 1 bus, or utility 2 bus), it is not possible
to select M/E-2 on the M/E-3 key bus or utility 1 bus.
Example 2: When M/E-2 is selected on the M/E-3 background A bus (or
background B bus, key bus, utility 1 bus, or utility 2 bus), it is not possible
to select M/E-3 on the PGM/PST key bus or utility 1 bus.
In the case of a 3M/E system, by setting bit 1 of switch S101 on the CA-
44 or CA-54 board to the "Off" position, you can remove this restriction.
Note, however, that this slightly reduces the input window.
