Calibrating the Kaleido-X
Multiviewer Input Calibrations
Calibrating Aspect Ratio Decoding
Aspect ratio information can be encoded following different standards: AFD 2016, AFD VI,
or WSS. The following table shows the different standards and their availability according to
the signal type:
AFD VI information can be encoded as 4 bits or 3 bits (legacy).
To select the AFD source for an SD signal
1 In the main window, click the System tab, and then click Description/Calibrations on
the second-level tab bar.
A hierarchical list representing the current system appears.
2 In the list, expand the multiviewer whose inputs you wish to calibrate.
3 Expand the appropriate input, and then click AFD & WSS.
4Click the Properties tab.
5 Select Legacy AFD 3 bits to support the legacy AFD 3-bit format for the video index.
6 Select the appropriate value from the SD AFD source list.
Note: This section applies to Kaleido-X and Kaleido-X16 multiviewers that
are used to monitor SD signals. In the case of HD signals, since the AFD
information always follows AFD
2016, no calibration is needed. No
calibration is needed for the Kaleido-IP either, since it supports decoding of
a signal’s aspect ratio from AFD metadata only. The KMV-3901/3911 does not
support decoding of aspect-ratio information. See
page 112 for more
information.
