Input/output formats

E-E mode (when the same signals as the input signals are output)

O Only format conversion is possible with E-E mode outputs.

O The output in the E-E mode is synchronized with the input. This means that, when the input is 60p, the output will always be set to the output format with a frequency whose decimal places have been rounded up. For example, if the input is 59.94p and the output is 23.98p, the input will be set to 60p and the output will be set to 24p.

Also, an asterisk (2) on the basic screen 1 appears on the display panel if the actual output format is at variance from the output format which was set on the setup menu “HD PB FMT”.

O The output is normal only when the input frame rate and output frame rate are identical. Bear in mind that with any other combination, the output will not be normal.

O Bear in mind that the E-E output is synchronized with the reference frequency of the input signal and this may be at vari- ance from the output setting.

F: Combination that enables the input to be converted in the pull-up mode and then output with normal frames
