3.5 Setup Tab
Click on the Setup tab to
access the Blanking and
Input / Output controls.
The Blanking section
automatically adjusts the
Pixel and line numbers
according to the input
standard detected. Each
control comes with a reset to
Default button.
Use the
R, G & B
values to
alter the colour of the
blanking as required.
The "Transparent" switch
allows you to see the part of
the picture that is being
blanked.
The
Disable Front Panel
button prevents accidental changes being made using
the control knob. The
Disable Remote Access
prevents the current workstation,
and any other workstation from making any accidental changes (particularly
useful during playback/layoff situations). When this box is checked all other
controls are greyed out.
The
Legaliser
section allows black and white levels to be soft clipped individually
at the user defined levels. Selecting the
Show
function causes the illegal colours
to be highlighted (flashing in the respective colour) on the outputs.
The Video Mode Selections for the
Input
and
Output
allow for the selection of
different colour spaces and Pluto can be used to transcode between these.
Internally (i.e. through the LUTs the Pluto is always operating in an RGB mode
with at least 14 bit precision. The following modes select the Input or Output
colour transform:
•
YUV:
[Actually YCrCb] is the normal mode of operation for 422 video.
Internally these signals are converted to RGB using either SMPTE REC601
or REC709 depending on video standard.
•
RGB & XYZ:
Technically these standards should only be in a Dual Link or
3G A-stream mode.
