6.8.3 Progressive and Interlaced Modes
Although the Viewfinder automatically configures itself for any
of the frame rates listed (Section 4), for correct display of
interlaced video input, manual de-selection of PsF mode is
required. Since PsF and I mode video inputs share an
identical signal format, auto-selection is not possible. If Action
mode is selected (Section 6.8) then this manual choice is not
required, since in this mode the viewfinder display either PsF
or I video inputs correctly.
•
Rotate the MENU control to select the required frame
mode within the Configuration Menu
•
Press the MENU control to confirm the required frame
mode. The video image reappears after a short period
The current frame mode is indicated in inverse text.
Little difference may be observed between PsF and I
modes, depending on video image content. An example of
a pair of input video formats demonstrating the difference
is 25p / 50i. If the source is in 50i mode and the Viewfinder
is set to PsF mode, ‘Jaggies’ may appear on moving edges
within the video image. These disappear once I mode is
selected.
6.8.4 Image Inversion (Rotate)
The Viewfinder can compensate for inverted use (such as
right-side mounting), or for inverted video input, using the
Rotate Image function which reverses the orientation of the
image.
•
Rotate then press the MENU control to select Rotate
Image within the Configuration Menu
A dialogue box ‘Are you sure?’ (Figures 6 and 7) appears,
because invoking Rotate Image also inverts the On-Screen
Menu.
