UltraMatch and GearBox on IP I/O and Gearbox Boards
The GV K-Frame XP Video Processing Frame introduced a new feature – “UltraMatch®” specifically developed to
assist users in addressing mixed formats within a 4K/HD mixed mode production. A specialized mini-format
converter has been enabled on SDI or IP 16x8 I/O boards (K-FRM-IO-FULL-X-GB and K-FRM-IO-FULL-X-I) and the
IP 8x4 I/O board (K-FRM-IO-X-I) to convert incoming 2160p and 1080p video to either 2160p or 1080p video to
match the selected HD or 4K Frame Operating Mode.
When the Input Mode is set to “Bypass/UltraMatch”, the individual input detects the incoming source’s video
format and automatically performs the correct conversion. Alternatively, the Input Mode may be set to
“GearBox” and the Input Format can be set manually to 2160p or either of the Quad Link Formats: 4K 2SI or 4K
SDQS. Inputs which are 1080i can also be converted, some occasional motion artifacts may occur due to
interlace and the audio will not be valid.
For the outputs, the GearBox mode allows the operator to individually select single stream 2160p, 1080p or
Quad-Link 4K 2SI streams on each output when the Frame Operating Mode is 2160p or 1080p.

These specialized mini-format convertors are specifically designed for converting between 2160p and 1080p
formats. In most situations, it will be difficult for the eye to detect the difference between a conversion done on
the K-Frame’s 8x4 SDI conversion board (K-FRM-IO-CONV-XP) and one accomplished by the UltraMatch® mini-
format convertor or GearBox hardware on the SDI GearBox and IP I/O boards. If your production requirement
calls for conversion to/from 720p video or Standard Definition Video, then the K-FRM-IO-CONV-XP board (SDI) or
an external conversion box should be utilized.
The following menus show the controls for configuring the I/O Boards.
