4. Input/output signal settings

4-1-2. Setting the input mode

The mode can be set for each input only when HD has been selected as the system format. When SD is selected as the system format, the input mode is always the same as Normal.

Normal: Input signals in conformity with the system format take effect.

D by D: When SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format have been input, they are input on a dot by dot (1 magnification) basis with no up-conversion.

(This setting is only possible when the system format is 1080i.)

In this mode, there is minimal deterioration in the image quality and, as such, the mode is used to combine SD format material using the PinP function.

UC: When SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format have been input, they are up-converted. (This mode can be selected for inputs 5 to 8 only.)

Auto: Input signals in conformity with the system format take effect.

Furthermore, if SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format are input when HD is selected as the system format, they are up-converted. (This mode can be selected for SDI inputs 5 to 8 only.)

In the Auto mode, the images may be disturbed when the input signals are switched. 1 On the Input sub menu, turn [F2] to select the input signals using the Signal item.

2Turn [F4] to set the input mode using the Mode item, and press the [F4] switch to enter the selection. An asterisk (]) appears at the left of the input mode currently selected.
