Genlock Setup
Genlock is determined by the video input and genlock source selections. The selections can be set
with the
MENU
setting, or with the Magni Premier application software. (Refer to the MENU
display section: Menu, Input Video,…)
Depending on the applications, the MCP-601 outputs are genlock to the incoming video, to the REF
IN Composite signal, or to the internal clock. The front panel Genlock LED will lid when a valid
genlock signal is present. Regardless of the input selection and genlock method, both SDI-601 and
analog signal in the selected format are output simultaneously.
Scan Conversion
There are two ways to have a 100% scan conversions operation with the MCP-601:
1.
Video Input – None. With no input signal, the video outputs will consist of 100%
graphics and referenced to either the internal clock of the unit ( Power up memory
setting) or, to a reference signal and is selected under Genlock Source. In the later case,
apply a reference signal (Black Burst or a Composite signal) to the REF IN input
(Factory preset default memory location 1).
