Understanding the Control Panel
20
Output Format Selection
The current Format, Frame and Rate settings will be indicated by BLUE front panel buttons.
To change the output format, we recommend that you work from left to right on the control panel. Select the
desired format line rate, frame type and frame rate via the control panel buttons, which will turn GREEN if
available. If a selection is NOT available, other buttons will flash GREEN momentarily to indicate permissible
selections.
During selection of a new output mode, the LCD menu will display the pending conversion, as seen in the
graphic below. The Teranex 2D Processor supports 4:2:2 sampling only. The advanced processing power
of the Teranex 3D Processor offers additional options, including 4:4:4 sampling and RGB colorspace menu
selections, as illustrated in the graphics shown in the
1080 Formats
section below.
486 and 576 Formats
The
486
and
576
Format buttons indicate the NTSC and PAL standard definition interlaced formats,
respectively. The numbers refer to the active lines in each standard (486 for NTSC, 576 for PAL). When
the 486 button is pressed, the system will default to an interlaced (I), 59.94 setting in the Frame and Rate
sections. Likewise, when the 576 button is selected, the system will default to an interlaced (I), 50 setting. The
LCD Menu will display NTSC or PAL as the pending output mode.
