In the <FC Output Assign> group, set the signals to 
display in the list on the right.
For details, refer to step 2 in “Assigning Output 
Signals” (page 457).

Setting the conversion format
You can set the signal format of outputs to convert by the 
format converter.
The conversion format is set in the following groupings, 
depending on the switcher signal format.
• 3840×2160P, 1080P: 4-channel groups (FC1 to FC4, 
FC5 to FC8, FC9 to FC12, FC13 to FC16)
• 1080i, 720P: 8-channel groups (FC1 to FC8, FC9 to 
FC16)
• When the switcher signal format is 3840×2160PsF or 
1080PsF, output signal format conversion is not 
available.
• When the switcher signal format is 1080P, the signal 
formats that can be converted vary depending on the 
720P converter setting.
For details about the 720P converter, see “Enabling/
disabling the 720P converter” (page 461).
Supported formats
The supported conversion formats are given below.
• Field frequency and frame frequency conversion is not 
supported.
• When the conversion format is set to the same signal 
format as the switcher, signals are output without format 
conversion, but the signal delay level is the same as for 
a format-converted signal.
a) Output signal without format conversion
b) Selectable when the 720P converter is enabled
c) When the switcher signal format frequency is 59.94, only 480i is 
selectable. When the frequency is 50, only 576i is selectable.
