SmartConversion
The switcher can only operate in a single video format
at a time. In order to mix and manipulate video signals
of different video formats, the SmartConversion option
is required. Once set up, SmartConversion automatically
assigns up/down converters to the various inputs to
ensure that all the video signals are in the same format.
SmartConversion can also be applied to outputs to
convert the output of an ME or Aux Bus to a different
video format.
SmartConversion operates automatically when you select
a source on an ME or Aux Bus. SmartConversion
determines if there is a video format mismatch between
the selected source and the ME or Aux Bus output
formats. If there is a video format mismatch, the
appropriate conversion loop is used to convert the input
source to the correct output format to match the ME or
Aux Bus.
For information on setting up SmartConversion, refer to
SmartConversion on page 85.
To View the Current Status of Conversion
Loops
You can view the status of all the up/down converters
that SmartConversion is managing either in the display

to display the number of free up/down converters.
1. Double-press the crosspoint button for the video
source that you want to view the up/down converter
status for. This can be on an ME or an Aux Bus.
2. Press SmartConversion.

The current status of the conversion loops is
displayed on the menu.
• Converter — up/down converter (displayed as
the Aux Bus that is connected to the up/down
converter).

being converted. If the source is not currently
on-air, this displays the last source that was
converted and on-air.
• In Use — Yes if the current source is on-air and
the up/down converter is unavailable for use by
another source. No if the source is not on-air and
the up/down converter is available for use.

converter is locked to. If the up/down converter
is not locked to a speciîš¿c bus-pair, Not Locked
is displayed.
• Converters — the number of assigned up/down
converters out of the total number of each
speciîš¿c video format.

for that BNC by temporarily overriding the conversion
settings for that source.
