Blackmagic Converter Utility Settings
The Converter Utility software complements your mini switch settings by providing supplementary
adjustment options.
The Video Levels pane lets you adjust the analog video luminance and chroma levels, and the B-Y and
R-Y component chroma levels independently.
The Audio Levels pane lets you adjust audio levels for your selected analog channels or AES/EBU audio
reference levels.
The Settings pane lets you select down conversion aspect ratio options. When your converter is not
connected to Converter Utility software, the mini switches take priority. You will need to set mini switch
1 if you want to retain your aspect ratio settings after disconnecting from the Converter Utility software.
