Managing the Profiles for ARC
The Aspect Ratio Conversion (ARC) is configured by creating profiles for recalling the AFD
settings using the options in the
ARC tab in DashBoard.
Configuring a Profile
A profile specifies the ARC mode, the AFD Code, and aspect ratio for input and output of the
card. This enables you to configure up to eight profiles independently of each other.
To configure a profile
1. From the Device View in DashBoard, select the ARC tab.
2. Select the sub-tab for the profile that you want to configure.
ARC Tab — Profile 2
3. Type a unique identifier in the Profile Name field. This name displays in the Active
Profile fields, the list of available profiles on the Status sub-tab. The sub-tab name is also
updated.
4. For the input and output settings:
• Specify how the card detects and uses AFD by selecting an option from the ARC
Mode menu in the Input Settings and the Output Settings columns. Refer to
Table 9.13 on page 9-14 for a list of options.
• Specify the SD input aspect ratio by selecting an option in the Aspect Ratio field
located in the Input Settings column.
5. If you selected Force AFD option for the input settings:
• For input 4:3 formats — specify where the active content is displayed by selecting
one of the options from the 4:3 AFD Code menu located in the Input Settings
column.
Note
— Auto AFD will detect and use AFD code (SMPTE 2016) of the input video. If not
present, Force AFD settings are enabled and used. Forced AFD allows you to configure the
input of the ARC process.
