SDI7 Dual Channel SD/HD/3G SDI Video Generator module
STATUS. Displa
ys the instrument operating mode, output signal format, and
output sample structure. (See page 3-289, SDI7 module STATUS menu.)
OUTPUT MODE. Which output modes are available depend on whether Option 3 G
is enabled or not. When Option 3G is not enabled, only the SD and HD output
modes are available.
Selects the mapping format of the output signal to Level A (direct image format
mapping), Level B ( SMPTE 372M dual link mapping), as described by SMPTE
425, SD,or
HD-SDI.
Within Level A and Level B there are also selections for 1920 × 1080, 2K ×
1080, and
1280 × 720 (Level A only) formats. Also, for Level B only, there are
selections for 2×HD 1920 × 1080 and 2×HD 1280 × 720 formats. The 2×HD
mode produces two standard HD streams in the same format (e.g. 1080). Select
between Test Signal/Test Signal or Test Signal/Black for the two streams. (See
page 3-290, SDI7 module OUTPUT MODE submenu.)
SAMPLE STRUCTURE/DEPTH. (Option 3G only) When the output mode is set to
anon-
fast-progressive format, the SAMPLE STRUCTURE/DEPTH menu is
available. There are several sample structures to choose from. Press the left (◄)
or right (►) arrow buttons to scroll through the available options. When the
desired sample structure is displayed, press the ENTER button to select it.
