Io XT/4K Capture, Display, Convert v14.0 26 www.aja.com
Format Screen
The Format screen shows the video format currently in use by the Io XT/4K
framebuffer (called the Primary Format) and allows you to change it.
IMPORTANT: Do not confuse this Format function screen conversion, which uses AJA
hardware and operates on either Mac or PC, with the separate Conversion
function screen, which uses QuickTime for conversion and is only available on
Mac OS.
All throughout the Control Panel, choices are always presented based on what
Io XT/4K can do with the signals available and the inputs/outputs selected. For
example, on the Format screen, if the output or inputs are a different format than
the primary, then you’ll see an additional information pane that allows you to
view and edit the secondary format—including control over whether up/down/
cross conversion is employed.
NOTE: Io 4K in 4K Mode does not support a secondary format for up/down/cross
conversion.
NOTE: The AJA Control Panel software uses the abbreviation “sf” instead of “Psf” when
referring to “progressive segmented frame” formats.
Primary (Frame Buffer) Format
Format
This pull-down menu shows the currently selected format. When a change is
made via the Video Format pull-down or by clicking an icon and selecting a new
format via a contextual menu, the block diagram will change to reflect the new
format.
NOTE: The Format control is not active when an application has control of the Io XT/4K.
