3D Compatibility: Switch up to Nine 3D Image Inputs
Mounting the optional AV-HS04M7D 3D SDI Output Board
provides 3D compatibility. Eight pairs of 3D images standard, and
a maximum of nine pairs of 3D images, can be input by dual SDI
from 3D cameras and other sources, with two-channel bus
switching. Transitions include cut, dissolve and wipe. Ideal for 3D
sports acquisition, TV commercial production, and event
recording.
• Compatible video formats in 3D mode:
1080/59.94i, 1080/50i,
720/59.94p, 720/50p
Primatte® Chroma Keying
Primatte® chroma keying also supports 3D images (one channel
each, left and right). This enables real-time, high-precision
chroma keying on-site.

Three LR Mix Outputs
The LR mix image output function allows the left and right
channels of stereo 3D images to be checked on a 2D monitor.
• LRMIXa (LR mix a):
The L channel and R channel images are
mixed.
• LRMIXb (LR mix b):
Magenta is mixed within the L channel
image and green is mixed within the R channel image.
• LRDiff (LR difference display):
The luminance components of
the L channel and R channel images are compared, and the
difference between them is displayed using a gray scale. This
makes it easier to see the differences between the L and R
channels.
Rig-Type 3D Camera Correction Assist
Vertical/horizontal reversing and position correction are possible
for all 16 channels of SDI standard inputs. This helps to adjust the
optical axis of a rig-type 3D camera when producing 3D footage.
3D Video Signal Status Monitor Displays
This function overlays 3D video signal status monitor (brightness,
RGB distribution, LR difference, grid) on 3D image onto the PGM
output and PVW output (1/4 size only) of the MultiViewer Display.
Being able to check the differences in the leaping effect and
depth of the PGM and PVW without having to wear 3D glasses
makes 3D switching easier and smoother. Even when 3D assist
information cannot be displayed on the monitor or viewfinder of a
rig-type or other 3D camera, this function will feed back PVW
output to the camera so you can correct the brightness and
horizontal/vertical positioning right on the camera.
“Simulated” images were produced in
order to describe the function.
