Note 1:
For each downconverter, you must select the format of the SDI input transport using the SDI Input
pulldown menu. The choice will depend on the format used by the origin equipment.
Quad Link 3G:
The 4K UHD image is split into four full-resolution quadrants, each received on a single 3G
link.
12G/3G:
The 4K UHD image is received on a single 12G or the HD image on a 3G link.
Note 2:
For Quad Link 3G SDI Transport, you must also select how 2160-Line Data Mapping is detected.
Auto (Square/2SI Division):
Automatically detects the mapping type based on the incoming VPID on the
first link (this setting may not be able to automatically detect certain legacy signals).
2SI Division:
Assumes 2SI Division regardless of the incoming VPID.
Square Division:
Assumes Square Division regardless of the incoming VPID.
2160-Line Data Mapping settings are ignored when the SDI Input is set to 12G/3G.
Note 3:
The frame rate (59.94 Hz or 50 Hz) of the selected SDI output resolution is reported underneath the SDI
Output - Resolution menu.
A diagram of the downconversion process is displayed underneath the settings for each downconverter. The
status for each input SDI will be either green (no error) or red (error). In the event of an error, you can mouse over
this field to display a tooltip with more details.
