Video Output

Digital:

• 3Gb SD and HD-SDI, SMPTE-259/292/296/424
• Dual-link HD 4:4:4 and 2K HSDL 4:4:4
• HDMI v1.4, 30/36 bits/pixel, RGB or YUV, 2.25Gbps

Analog:

• SD and HD Output, 12-bits, BNC
• HD: YPbPr, RGB
• SD: YPbPr, RGB (component mode) or Composite +
• Y/C (composite mode with simultaneous Y/C)

Downstream Keyer:

Will output graphics with alpha channel over video, matte or framebuffer, or framebuffer content over incoming video or matte
Audio

• 24-bit SDI embedded audio, 16 channel, 48kHz
• 24-bit AES audio, 8 channel w/breakout cable or 16 channel with optional K3G-Box, 96kHz or 48kHz 24- or 16-bit capable

Up-Conversion

• Hardware 10-bit
• Anamorphic: full-screen
• Pillar box 4:3: results in a 4:3 image in center of screen with black sidebars
• Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image with black side bars
• Zoom Letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill full screen
• Zoom Wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16:9 screen; this setting can introduce a small aspect ratio change

Down-Conversion

• Hardware 10-bit
• Anamorphic: full-screen
• Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved
• Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size

Cross-Conversion

• Hardware 10-bit
• 1080i to 720P
• 720P to 1080i
• 720P to 1080PsF

SD to SD Aspect Ratio Conversion

• Letterbox: This transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image.
• H Crop: Will produce a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
• SD Pillarbox: Will produce an image in the center of the screen with black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image in the center
• V Crop; Will transform SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image.

Reference Input

• Analog Color Black (1V) or Composite Sync (2 or 4V) Non terminating, Looping, 75 ohm on K3G-Box, terminated on supplied breakout cable

LTC

• Input and Output, 2 BNCs

Machine Control
