D : Format Conversion
This section describes how to set up an Ultra 4K Tool Box or 4K Converter to convert a video
signal from one delivery format and video standard to another. (These systems include the
CONVERT option.)
D.1 Overview
Omnitek Ultra systems support a wide range of video standards delivered over SDI, HDMI or
DisplayPort, both as input to and as output from the Ultra . The precise details of the range
supported depends on the VIDEO_
xx
options that are installed (see Section A.1.3).
The
Ultra
allows video in any supported video standard delivered to its input ports to be output in
any of the supported video standards from any of its output ports. Conversion between the two sets
of delivery formats and video standards is an intrinsic consequence of feeding in input using one
delivery format & video standard and specifying a different delivery format and/or video standard
for the output.
Specifying the required conversion is therefore part and parcel of defining how the inputs and outputs
on the Ultra are to be used, and is carried out using the Connections window (shown below).
The conversion is carried out within the Analyser/Converter component of the Ultra .

any input on the HDMI port to 6G Dual-Link SDI
The Ultra automatically detects the standard of each input connected to it, so all the user has to do is:

Select the required input and define its route through the Ultra ’s Analyser/Converter to the
required output (as described in Section B.1)
 Set the Output Video Standard as described below.
