Changing output formats
with open menus
Some front-pan
el menus and status displays are dependent on the frame rate
of the c urrently selected output format. If you open a submenu and press the
FORMAT button to change the frame rate, the submenu will not be refreshed
until it is exited and reopened.
Assigning a signal
and frame picture to a
front-pane
lbutton
When you assign a downloaded signal to a front-panel button, do not assign
different format signals to the same button.
Do not assign a signal set to a button that corresponds to the signal that is c urrently
being output. Also, do not assign a signal set to a signal button while the message
“No Signal Set Assigned” is displayed. If you reassign a signal set to the OTHER
button, perform the reassignment while a signal that is assigned to a button other
than the OTHER button is output.
Time of d
ay changes for
timecode outputs
When the time-of-day chan ges, such as when scheduled daylight savings
adjustments are made or when the internal time is set from the front panel, there
can be a delay before that change is reflected on timecode outputs.
This delay may be a small number of frames (fraction of a sec ond) when all
timecode output formats are b ased on the same clock rate (for example, NTSC
black
burst and 1080i 59.94 HD tri-level on black outputs in addition to 30 fps
drop-frame on LTC outputs), or up to several seconds when timecode formats
based on different clock rates are used (for example, 29.97 fps a nd 24 fps on
different outputs).
Setting the genlock source
ontheAGL7module
If you change the frame reset period in the AGL7 module after the genlock source
is set to CW, the frame reset may not be selected properly. If this is the case, set
the frame reset to CW.
Timing range o f the
AGL7 module
The TIMING menu for the AGL7 module will allow output timing adjustment
beyond ± ½ frame of the current format.
