Video Reference
The flexible reference system in the switcher allows
you to use an Interlaced video format as the reference
to operate the switcher in a video format of the same
frequency. Choosing a progressive video format as a
reference limits you to operating the switcher only in
that same video format and frequency.
Supported Reference Formats
The switcher supports a number of reference modes for
both internal and external reference signals.
Table 1: Supported Reference Formats
Input Reference Usable Format
720p 59.94Hz UHDTV1 59.94Hz (UHD-2SI)
720p 50Hz UHDTV1 50Hz (UHD-2SI)
1080i 59.94Hz UHDTV1 59.94Hz (UHD-2SI)
1080i 50Hz UHDTV1 50Hz (UHD-2SI)
Reference and Video Mode Setup
The switcher supports both internal and external
references. An external reference is provided by an
external device to the switcher through the REF IN
BNC on the frame. An internal reference is generated
by the switcher and can be fed out to other devices.
The switcher automatically detects the reference signal
and only shows the video modes that you can operate
the switcher in that are supported for that reference
format.
To Set a Video Mode
If you are using an external reference, ensure that a
proper reference is connected to the
REF IN
input
BNC on the frame.
Note: You must use an interlaced reference source to have
the switcher operate in an interlaced reference format if you
are using an external reference.
Tip:
Reference settings can also be set up from the
Reference tab on the Configuration node in DashBoard.
1. Press MENU > Ref Click Navigation Menu >
Configuration > Reference .
2.
Use the VidMode knob to select the video format
that you want to use. Click the Video Mode
button and select the video format you want to
use.
The available video modes depends on the
reference format coming into the switcher.
3. Press NEXT .
4. Use the RefSrc knob to select an internal ( Int )
or external ( Ext ) reference source. Click the
Reference Source button and select an internal
or external reference source.
5. Press the RefSrc knob to confirm the reference
source.
Frame Sync and Format
Conversion
The switcher has multiple input frame synchronizer /
format converter (FSFC) and input de-interlacers
that can be used to convert video input signals to the
format that the switcher is operating in, as well as
correct mistimed, or drifting, video input signal. The
frame synchronizers cannot completely correct badly
formatted video, mistimed switches, signal drops, or
similar issues.
Carbonite Black+ and Carbonite Black+ 12G have 3
additional output format converters that can be used to
convert the output video signal from the video format
that the switcher is operating in to another format
required by a downstream device.
Each FSFC channel maintains a separate setting
for different video formats. This lets you change
between video formats without losing FSFC channel
configurations.
Keep the following in mind when working with
Frame Synchronizers and Format Converters:
• If a video format not compatible with the currently
defined conversion is used, the video image is
frozen with the last successfully processed image
frame.
• FSFCs create a one-frame delay in the video
output of the switcher for the video signal being
converted.
• FSFCs strip embedded audio data from the video
signal. Ensure that no FSFC channels are assigned
to any input or bus you are using with external
audio mode.
• The output format converters in the Carbonite
Black+ and Carbonite Black+ 12G frames are only
available on outputs 3, 4, and 5.
• The FSFCs used in the switcher conform to
the SMPTE ST 125:2013 standard. Some older
equipment may not fully conform to the current
standards and can send out-of-spec video to the
switcher which can have unexpected results.
