SD Aspect Convert Determines the mode when converting from SD input video to an SD output video
format. There is no DIP switch equivalent for this control. The setting is saved in
nonvolatile memory in the module and used for all subsequent operation:
• Off (default) - The input image is copied to the output with no scaling.
• Letterbox - The input frame is scaled vertically to a 16x9 letterboxed size (anamorphic
to letterbox conversion).
• H Crop - The input frame is scaled horizontally to 16x9, then center-cropped
(anamorphic to center crop conversion).
• Pillarbox - The input frame is scaled horizontally to make a pillarbox output (4x3 to
anamorphic conversion).
• V Crop - The input frame is scaled vertically to make a vertically cropped output
(letterbox to anamorphic conversion).
• 14x 9 - The input frame is scaled horizontally and vertically as a compromise between H
Crop and Letterbox (anamorphic to 14x9 conversion).
HD Down Convert Determines the mode when converting from HD input video to an SD output video
format:
• Crop (default) - Image is cropped to fit new screen size.
• Letterbox - Image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area, with the
aspect ratio preserved.
• Anamorphic - HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio
(anamorphic).
• 14x9 - Image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved. Black is added top and
bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped.
• Auto AFD - Automatically selects the best Downconvert mode based on the input
video's Active Format Description (AFD) code. If the input video is not carrying an AFD
VANC code, the unit defaults to Crop.
Graticule Turns on or off a graticule display indicating a 4:3 aspect ratio.
•Off (default)
•On
Graticule is only available with HD (16:9) input, Letterbox or Anamorphic HD Down
Convert mode (either manually selected or AutoAFD), and with Focus set to Off. When
inactive, status is dashes.
Focus Zooms to center 720 x 486 (for 525i) or 720 x 576 (for 625i).
