The two “Option Card”
entries In the
Configuration
menu
identify which optional
input modules (a.k.a.
cards
) are present at
INPUT 5
(Option 1) and
INPUT 6
(Option 2). If
either of these option
slots is empty, the
corresponding read-only
menu entry does
nothing. If there is a
module installed, the
corresponding menu
entry may activate a
submenu of further
options pertaining to that
module.
For example, if the
Dual
SD/HD-SDI
module is
installed at
INPUT 5
(Option 1 slot), the
Option 1 Card submenu
provides controls for configuring the various connections on this multi-input, multi-
output module—see Figure 3.24. As desired for your application, you can define 1)
which physical input loops through to which output, and 2) which functional input
(main or PIP signal) loops through to which output.
NOTE:
Smooth or Seamless switching not currently supported for 2048 x 1080 or
1920 x 1080 output from the Cine-IPM 2K.
PIP (Picture-in-Picture) and Switching are independent but related
Cine-IPM 2K
features that both utilize two image processing paths within the unit. In the case of
Picture-in-Picture, this double processing enables you to output two different images
simultaneously – typically a smaller “secondary” image within a large “primary”
background. In switching (available with certain
Cine-IPM 2K
outputs), the double
processing essentially occurs
between
displays so that a full image relayed from one
source can smoothly transform into a full image from another source. This change
can be virtually instantaneous, or slowed as desired so that the current image appears
to dissolve or “fade” into the new image.
Options for enabling and controlling PIP and Switching all reside in the same menu.
Note, however, that because both features utilize the
Cine-IPM 2K
’s double
processing capability, PIP and Switching cannot be used together. For example,
fading a pair of PIP images into a new display from a different source is not possible.
For best PIP or Switching results, use two
different
signal types* as defined below.
Do not mix two signals of the same type.
