Click the
Configure
button for the input you
want to assign an FSFC to.
3.
Click the
Type
button for the conversion you
want to apply.
•
SDI
— no FSFC is applied to the input.
•
SDI-FS
— an FSFC is applied to the input.
•
QuadFS
— a timed FSFC is applied to the
input. Each QuadFS is timed to the first SDI-
FS in the group of four (1-4, 5-8, 9-12). The
SDI-FS must be applied to the first input and
QuadFS to the rest of the inputs in the group.
Tip:
Use this if you are taking the quad-split output
from an untimed UHD camera that you need to
frame-sync. The frame syncs applied to each input
are locked together for timing so that all four inputs
are in sync.
4.
Select the aspect ratio conversion mode you want
to use.
The options that are available depend on the video
format that the switcher is converting from and to.
•
Full
— The video signal is scaled
disproportionately to fill the display of the new
aspect ratio. Aspect distortion occurs as the
image is stretched/compressed to fit in the new
aspect ratio.
•
Zoom
— The central portion of the video
signal is zoomed to fill the display of the
new video format. No aspect distortion is
introduced but the edges of the video signal
may be cropped.
•
Letter Box
— Black bars are added to the top
and bottom of a 16:9 image to display correctly
in a 4:3 video format.
•
Pillar Box
— Black bars are added to
the right and left of a 4:3 image to display
correctly in a 16:9 video format.
Output Reference Synchronizers
The output reference synchronizers allow you to
have the switcher output a reference signal that other
devices, such as cameras and video servers, can lock
to.
Note:
Different applications require different output reference
formats and delay settings. Consult a facility engineer for
assistance in configuring these settings.
To Set Up an Output Reference Sync
If you are using one of the output references to time
external devices, ensure that they are connected to the
appropriate
REF OUT
output BNC.

Click on the

X
button for the
reference output BNC that you want to set up.
3.
Click on the reference format you want to output
from the switcher.
The available output reference formats depend on
the video format that the switcher is operating in.
You must be in a 50Hz video format for PAL and a
59.94Hz video format for NTSC.
4.
Select the type of delay you want to apply to the
reference signal.
•
V
— vertical delay in lines
•
H
— horizontal delay in pixels
•
F
— frame delay in frames (NTSC/PAL only)

synchronizer.
If you select an analog reference format (NTSC/PAL)
you must set whether you want to use color framing
for the reference output or not.
To Set Color Framing for Analog Reference
When the output reference (OSync) is set to an analog
format (NTSC/PAL), the color framing in the sub-
carrier can be synced to the color framing of the input
reference. The input reference must also be set to an
analog format.
Note:
Jitter on the color framing of the input reference causes
the analog output reference to reset in an attempt to re-sync.

Toggle the
Color Framing
button to turn color
framing on or off.
•
No Sync
— color framing not synced
between input and output references
•
Sync
— reference output color framing is
synced with reference input color framing
Switching Field
The switching field is the field in an interlaced video
format that the switcher uses to transition from one
video source to another. An interlaced video format is
