Notes
After changing any of the following settings, be sure to
press [Execute] (or [FC Format Execute] for changing the
format converter signal format) to save the new values. If
you want to cancel the settings and return to the original
state, press [Clear] without pressing [Execute] or [FC
Format Execute]. When you press [Execute], some data is
lost (such as frame memory images). If you press [FC
Format Execute], memory is not initialized, and this data
is not lost.
Restrictions on signal formats and reentry
Reentry restrictions for an M/E on which a selected signal
format can be used depend on whether or not the color
corrector is used.
For details, see “Preparations” in Chapter 9 (Volume 1).
