1.Assign an FCFS channel to a specific input.

2.Use the Input knob to select which input the FCFS channel is assigned to.

3.Use the Frming knob to set the aspect ratio conversion mode. You can choose from the following:

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.

LttrBx — Black bars are added to the top and bottom of a 16:9 image to display correctly in a 4:3 video format.

PllrBx — Black bars are added to the right and left of a 4:3 image to display correctly in a 16:9 video format.

4.Press the Fcfs1-4knob to save the changes.

5.Press the Confrm knob to commit the change and exit the FCFS menu. Press the Cancel knob to return to the FCFS menu for further editing.

1.Assign an FCFS channel to a specific bus.

2.Use the Bus knob to select which bus the format converter / frame synchronizer is assigned to.

3.Use the 2ndCh knob to select the FCFS channel to assign to the paired bus.
