Input Format Detection is Automatic
The Automatic Input Format Detection feature permits the processor to automatically configure itself for the
current video input format. Once you manually define the desired output format, the Auto Input Detection
feature provides for automatic, unattended operation. Should the input format change upstream from the
processor, the output format will remain as previously selected if the new conversion is a permitted format
conversion.
In the Teranex 3D Processor, the auto detection logic will take advantage of the VPID (Video Payload
IDentifier) if it is present on the incoming signal. For example, with VPID present, the Teranex 3D can easily
distinguish between formats that otherwise appear to be identical, such as 1080i59.94 and 1080PsF29.7 or
1080i50 and 1080PsF25. Without VPID, 1080i59.94 is indistinguishable from 1080PsF29.97 and the Teranex
3D will detect the input as 1080i59.94. The same holds true for 1080i50 and 1080PsF25.
So, what if your input signal is 1080PsF29.97 or 1080PsF25 and it does not have VPID?
You can very quickly and easily tell the 3D that you are using PsF inputs via the front panel:
Connect your source, such as 1080PsF29.97, to the 3D.
Press the IN button on the front panel of the 3D Processor. You will see that the processor has auto-
detected the source as 1080i59.94, as expected.
Now, press the PSF button on the front panel. The 29.97 button will immediately turn green,
indicating that it is an acceptable choice and the LCD will display the following graphic:
Use the steps above to select 1080PsF25 as an input instead of 1080i50.
By the way, the Teranex 3D always inserts VPID into its output video ancillary data, so if your source is another
Teranex 3D, the VPID will make the above selections for you automatically.
