FS2 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v3.0 72 www.aja.com
>16:9
Always inserts a “Box > 16:9 (center)” AFD code (4), which indicates that the HD image
has an aspect ratio greater than 16:9 as a vertically centered letterbox within the 16:9
frame.
Full Frame
Always inserts a “Full Frame” AFD code (8), which indicates that the HD image is full
frame, with an aspect ratio that is 16:9.
Pillarbox
Always inserts a “4:3 (center)” AFD code (9), which indicates that the HD image has a 4:3
aspect ratio as a horizontally center pillarbox image within the 16:9 frame.
Letterbox
Always inserts a “16:9 (with complete 16:9 image protected)” AFD code (10), which
indicates that the HD image is full frame, with a 16:9 aspect ratio and all image areas
are protected.
14:9
Always inserts a “14:9 (center)” AFD code (11), which indicates that the HD image has a
14:9 aspect ratio as a horizontally centered pillarbox within the 16:9 frame.
4:3 Alt 14:9
Always inserts a “4:3 (with alternate 14:9 center)” AFD code (13), which indicates that the
HD image has a 4:3 aspect ratio and with an alternative 14:9 centered pillarbox image
within the 16:9 frame.
16:9 Alt 14:9 Always inserts a “16:9 (with alternative 14:9 center” AFD code (14), which indicates that
the HD image has a 16:9 aspect ratio with an alternative 14:9 center within the 16:9
frame.
16:9 Alt 4:3
Always inserts a “16:9 (with alternative 4:3 center)” AFD code (15), which indicates that
the HD image has a 16:9 aspect ratio with an alternative 4:3 center within the 16:9
frame.
17.2 AFD VANC Output Lines
This parameter determines which video output lines have AFD VANC inserted (HD
output only) on the Video Processor output.
10 (default)
9–42
Adds AFD VANC to line 10.
Select which line other than 10 will have AFD VANC added.
17.3 Downcvt AFD Dflt
This parameter selects how the Video Processor will operate when parameter 7
Downconvert Mode has been set to Auto AFD and no AFD codes are detected at
the selected input source (that is, this menu selects the default Downconversion
to use when AFD is absent). This parameter is in effect only when the input is HD
(720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and the selected output format is SD (525i or 625i).
Hold Last (default)
Use the last detected AFD code and continue to use its aspect ratio
until a new AFD code is detected again in the SDI metadata.
Crop
When AFD code is absent, switch the Downconverter mode to
Crop.
Anamorphic
When AFD code is absent, switch the Downconverter mode to
Anamorphic.
14:9
When AFD code is absent, switch the Downconverter mode to 14x9.
Letterbox
When AFD code is absent, switch the Downconverter mode to
Letterbox.
Closed Captioning
This parameter translates closed captioning from the SD CEA-608 format on line
21 to the HD CEA-708 format and inserts it into the HD output video stream.
NOTE: This parameter interacts with parameter 20 SD Line 21 Blanking; see the
explanation for that parameter also.
