FS3 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v1.1r1 57 www.aja.com
AFD
These parameters determine if and where the Video Processor will insert a SMPTE
2016 Active Format Descriptor (AFD) packet into its output video. The inserted
AFD code does not affect the Video Processor’s up-conversion, but it may affect
downstream video processing if the signal is later downconverted.
17.1 AFD Out
These determines whether the Video Processor inserts an AFD packet into the
output video.
OFF (default)
The FS3 does not insert an AFD code into the output.
Auto
If there is no AFD code on the input video, a “Full Frame” (8) code is
inserted. If the FS3 is up-converting, the appropriate AFD code will
be chosen based on the Upconvert Mode.
>16:9
Always inserts a “Box > 16:9 (center)” AFD code (4), which indicates
that the 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
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 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 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
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 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 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 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 on
the output.
10 (default)
9–42
Adds AFD VANC to line 10.
Select which line other than 10 will have AFD VANC added.
18 Caption Xlator
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 output video stream.
