Video Output Format
50/60Hz
. As New Zealand DTT programmes will normally be
broadcast in 50Hz, selection of a 50Hz format from the list below is
recommended. However, some TVs (perhaps from Japan or America where
broadcasts are in 60Hz) may not happily accept a 50Hz signal. In this case
choose from the list of 60Hz formats provided.
1080i (50Hz) *
The default setting – accepted by all HDTVs
1080p (50Hz)
A good choice if your TV accepts a 1080p HDMI
input
720p (50Hz)
A good choice if your ‘HD Ready’ TV has 720 or
768 lines of resolution
576i (50Hz)
Use only if your TV is Standard Definition
576p (50Hz)
1080i (60Hz)
1080p (60Hz)
720p (60Hz)
480i (60Hz)
480p (60Hz)
Standard Definition analogue outputs will output PAL if a 50Hz setting has
been chosen and NTSC if a 60Hz output has been chosen.
To ensure that you can always see a picture, Magic TV™ will automatically
revert back to the previous format after 15 seconds if you haven’t responded
to the on-screen prompt.
