Output Menu
The three controls along the top of the Output Menu (Standard, Mode, HD Format) are used to
determine Mitto’s output standard. Regardless of what type of input is fed into Mitto, whether it is DVI
or VGA, the output will match the configuration selections you have made.
The Standard, Mode and Test Pattern (Bars) controls are also accessible on the Mitto front panel.
• Standard – Select from NTSC or PAL.
• Mode – Select from SD, HD, or 3G (3G available on BEM-1 and BEM-1F only).
Note: The two output BNCs on the rear of the unit are labeled SDI Out 1 and 2.
SDI (Serial Digital Interface) includes SD SDI 270 Mb/s (Standard Definition),
1.5 Gb/s HD SDI (High Definition) and 3G 3 Gb/s HD SDI (High Definition).
Fiber is a way of putting a SDI signal over optical rather than electrical. On Models BEM-1F
and BEM-2F, SDI Out 1 is electrical (BNC) and SDI Out 2 is fiber optic.
HD Format – If working with HD, select 1080i or 720p
• Test Pattern – This function can be turned on or off.
Off – Off is the correct selection for normal operation.
On – When turned on, Mitto’s internal test pattern and tone generator will provide bars
and tone on the SDI outputs. This function is generally used during the installation or setup
process to confirm cabling downstream.
• Timecode Out – If you are feeding Mitto an external reference you may choose to have
timecode on the outputs. When running in HD timecode will be in ATC (or ancillary timecode
format). When running in SD, timecode will be in DVITC (or digital vertical interval timecode).
Use this control to select which pair of lines timecode will appear on. This control allows you to
move timecode from the inbound reference signal to different lines. This can be useful to keep
the timecode from interfering with other information, such as closed caption insertion which
is carried on line 21. You can also turn the timecode off.
Select Off or one of the following a pair of lines:
13,15; 14,16; 15,17; 16, 8; 17,19; 18,20; 19, 21.
• Composite/AES Out – Select between Composite Video or AES Audio for the Cpst/AES Out
BNC.
Composite Video – When Composite Video is selected, an analog composite copy of the
SD Output will be present on this BNC if you have SD selected for the Output Mode.
When HD is selected for the Output Mode, the composite output BNC provides black.
AES Ch 1/2 – Channels 1 and 2 of AES Audio will be present on this BNC.
AES Ch 3/4 – Channels 3 and 4 of AES Audio will be present on this BNC.
• Setup – The Setup control is used to turn off and on 7.5 IRE of setup or black offset in the
analog composite output for NTSC applications.
