•
Down-conversion: from HD (16:9) to SD (4:3)
•
Cross-conversion: from HD (720P) to HD (1080i), or
from HD (1080i) to HD (720P)
In the MVS-8000X, the maximum number of input signals
for which format conversion is possible is 16 (or 8 when
only one MKS-8450X board is installed), and the
maximum number of output signals is 4 (two outputs when
the MKS-8160X is not installed).
In the MVS-7000X, the maximum number of primary
input signals for which format conversion is possible is 8,
and the maximum number of output signals is 4 (two
outputs when the MKS-8160X is not installed).
Notes
•
After format conversion, input and output signals have
one-frame delays with respect to the reference signals.
To synchronize converted input signals and unconverted
input signals, it is possible to delay the unconverted
input signal.
For details, see “To delay unconverted input signals
(frame delay function)” (page 552).
•
When the input reference signal for HD system is set to
Tri Sync, the format converter function is not available.
For details, see “Switching the Input Reference Signal
for HD System” (page 550).
To synchronize unsynchronized input signals
(frame synchronizer)
When the signal format is set to 720P or 1080i, the input
signal can be synchronized by the up-converter. When
synchronizing, set the format converter to a format that
supports the frame synchronizer ([480i/59.94 (with FS)],
[576i/50 (with FS)]).
Notes
•
You can synchronize the input signal to the reference
signal within a range of ±0.5 frames with respect to the
reference signal.
•
If a frame synchronizer is used, the up-converter
introduces the following delay.
-
If the signal format is 1080i: 2 frames with respect to
the reference signal
- If the signal format is 720P: 1.5 frames, 2 frames, or
2.5 frames with respect to the reference signal
•
The frame delay function can be used as the frame
synchronizer
(see page 552) .
Notes
The format converter cannot be used when the signal
format is 1080PsF/23.976, 1080PsF/24, 1080P/50, or
1080P/59.94.

b) Output signals converted from 720P format are not synchronized to the switcher input reference signal.
On the destination device, do not use an external reference signal, but use an operation mode that can sync to the format converter output signal.

Format combinations allowing conversion
The supported combinations of switcher signal format and
format converter (inputs 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12 and 13 to 16)
are as follows.
Inputs 9 to 12 and 13 to 16 are available only in the MVS-
