32 X75HD/X75SD Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 1: Introduction
Simulcast Operation
General Description
Using the Simulcast mode, you can quickly switch between the two
input sources (Input A, and Input B) out of the many possible inputs.
Select the video sources to both Input A and Input B via the following
path: Video Setup>Routing Setup>Simulcast.
The Simulcast Sel parameter switches between the two inputs. This
switching can also be activated from the GPI input. To operate the unit
in Simulcast mode, use the I/P Video Mode parameter in the Routing
Setup menu.
When you enable the Simulcast mode, the X75HD/X75SD can switch
SDTV and HDTV inputs to simultaneous, deterministic SDTV and
HDTV outputs. Use this mode when you need to alternate between both
HDTV and SDTV signals and broadcast them together (for example, if
you have an HDTV satellite feed carrying the programming and an
SDTV local feed carrying the advertisements). Figure 1-10 shows a
simplified illustration. For more information on selecting inputs for
Simulcast processing, see “Processing Modes” on page 101.
