Notes

1

Converted using either a simple

line-doubler or 4-line interpolater and may

result in lower quality video.

2

Converted by dropping frames and may

result in lower quality video.

3

Only inputs 3-6 and 8-11 support Quad

3Gb/s or 1.5Gb/s UHDTV1 video.

4

Conversion is not supported when the

switcher is operating in this video format.

Input FSFC

Assign an FSFC to an input and then set up how

the FSFC is used on the input.

To Assign an FSFC to an Input (UHDTV1 Only)

You must assign an FSFC to an input to convert

the input video. The CUF-ADD-I/OPLUS option

provides additional resources.

1.

Reference

.

2.

In the

Input FSFC Assignment

area, click

the

Input FSFC X

button for the FSFC you

want to use.

3.

Click the

Input

button to select the video

input that you want to assign the FSFC to.

Tip:

Click Off to take the FSFC out of the video path for the

selected input.

To Set Up an Input FSFC (SD or HD Only)

In SD or HD, configure the FSFC that has been

assigned to the input. The conversion that is

available depends on the format the switcher

is operating in and the input that is being

converted.

Note:

If you do not have the CUF-ADD-I/OPLUS option activated,

an I/O Processor must be assigned to the input first.

Click the

Configure

button for the input you

want to assign an FSFC to.

3.

Click a

Type

button to turn on the FSFC.

SDI

— no FSFC is applied to the input.

SDI-FS

— an FSFC is applied to the input.

QuadFS

— a timed FSFC is applied to the

input. Each QuadFS is timed to the first

SDI-FS in the group of four (1-4, 5-8, 9-12).

The SDI-FS must be applied to the first

input and QuadFS to the rest of the inputs

in the group.

Tip:

Use this if you are taking the quad-split output

from an untimed UHD camera that you need to

frame-sync. The frame syncs applied to each input are

locked together for timing so that all four inputs are in

sync.

4.

If required, select the aspect ratio

conversion mode you want to use.
The options that are available depend on

the video format that the switcher is

converting from and to.

Full

— The video signal is scaled

disproportionately to fill the display of

the new aspect ratio. Aspect distortion

occurs as the image is

stretched/compressed to fit in the new

aspect ratio.

Zoom

— The central portion of the video

signal is zoomed to fill the display of the

new video format. No aspect distortion

is introduced but the edges of the video

signal may be cropped.

Letter Box

— Black bars are added to the

top and bottom of a 16:9 image to display

correctly in a 4:3 video format.
