Anamorphic Desqueeze
This feature gives you the ability to desqueeze HD signals coming from cameras utilizing anamorphic lenses that may not
have a built in desqueeze feature of their own. This can be particularly useful in applications outside of post production,
especially onset monitoring, where de-squeezing such signals in real-time may otherwise not be possible. The desqueeze
modes available are 1.3, 1.3mag, 2.0, and 2.0mag. This feature is in addition to, and not a substitute for, the SD Aspect Ratio
function. To use this feature set Anamorphic Desqueeze to a function button, which will allow you to toggle the desqueeze on
and off. To set the desqueeze ratio/magnication go to the Video Menu and select your desired Anamorphic Desqueeze mode.
Anamorphic Desqueeze Modes
Activating this function will enable an Active Format Description
reader on the monitor that will provide both a text readout of AFD
data and display corresponding markers onscreen indicating
the portions of the image described by the AFD code. If no AFD
data is present while this feature is active the monitor will show
AFD: NONE in its AFD readout window.
