6.23. AFD ARC CONTROLS
The
AFD ARC
control tab is the key section that enables the user to define the automatic steering of
Aspect Ratio Conversions
in response to incoming AFD codes. For each incoming AFD code, the user
may specify a unique ARC/Scaler operating mode and a unique output AFD code. In this way, incoming
AFD codes are effectively treated as “virtual GPIs” that recall scaler specific card presets.
To properly configure the 7812UDXD series cards for AFD, precede to the
AFD ARC
control tab. Select
an AFD code using the
AFD Select
drop down menu. This corresponds to the inbound AFD value for
which you will define a specific ARC/Scaler response. In the
Conversion
section, select the specific ARC
processing that you would like to occur every time that specified input side AFD code is received.
Furthermore, specify the outbound AFD code in the
AFD Stamp
section. Note that the
AFD Stamp
control is enabled only when the
AFD Stamp Source
is set to
User AFD Stamp
. Once all settings are
selected, press the
Apply
button on the top of the control tab. If using the
Auto Recall Preset
function
you should also select the ‘Store to auto recall preset’ option under the utilities control tab in the Store
user presets control. Perform this process for each incoming AFD value.
Note that it is possible for each input video standard to have their own unique set of AFD code responses.
This can be done using the
Auto Recall Preset
function. When doing so, the first step in defining
automatic AFD processing is to first consider your input video standard. Select the appropriate input video
standard within the
Video
control tab and press the
Apply
button. Following this, complete the process
outlined in the preceding paragraph. Be sure to complete this process for each relevant input video
standard.
