1.66 Rear HDMI Out

1.68 Rear HDMI 10-bit/8-bit

1.8 Crop SDI/HDMI Monitor Output

CION v1.1
This parameter determines whether scaled or full-raster video will be output from the
Rear HDMI Output.
NOTE: The Full Raster selection only has an impact on the output when a 4K or an Ultra HD format is
used.
These are the options:
• Scaled (default) – The HDMI output is limited to 2K or HD
• Full Raster – The HDMI output may produce 4K or Quad HD
NOTE: The rear HDMI output is an HDMI v1.4 output and therefore is limited to 4K 24Hz and Ultra HD
up to 30Hz as specified by the HDMI v1.4 standard. For frame rates of 50/59.94/60, the Full
Raster HDMI output is decimated to 25/29.97/30 respectively to produce an output. Various
menu parameters can be configured so that no video output is produced by the rear HDMI
connector. For example, if the 23.1 Format menu parameter from the FPS menu is configured
for 4K and the 23.2 Frame Rate menu parameter is configured for 25 and no crop has been
configured via menu parameter 1.8 Crop SDI/HDMI Monitor Outputs, the configuration
results in a format that is not natively supported by HDMI v1.4. To produce video output,
cropping the video output via the 1.8 Crop SDI/HDMI Monitor Outputs menu parameter may
be desirable.
This parameter determines whether the Rear HDMI Output is auto-negotiated with the
receiving device via EDID (extended display identification data) or via a specified output
type.
These are the options:
• Auto (default) – The HDMI output is negotiated automatically with the receiving device
via EDID
• 10-bit YCbCr – Configures the HDMI output for 10-bit YCbCr
• 8-bit RGB – Configures the HDMI output for 8-bit RGB
NOTE: Typically, you will want to simply leave the selection configured for Auto so that the
negotiation between the devices is handled automatically.
This parameter determines whether the SDI/HDMI Monitor outputs are cropped. Many
electronic viewfinders and on-board monitors, for example, will only offer support for
1080 HD, not 2K, so it is often advisable to have this parameter configured for a cropped
output if you are working with 4K or 2K recording formats.
These are the options:
• ON (default) – Scaled video for the monitor outputs is additionally cropped to 1080 HD
(if the source is not already 1080 HD)
• OFF – No cropping is applied to the monitoring outputs
NOTE: If the rear HDMI monitor output connector is configured for Full-Raster output, a 4K signal will
be cropped to Ultra HD.
