Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions
The following software options are also required depending on the number of
M/E banks.
To use the software, you are required to input an install key.
For the method of inputting an install key, see “Installation and Device Setup
(Install/Unit Config Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
Format converter (for MVS-8000G only)
Installing the MKS-8450G Format Converter Board in the switcher enables the
following signal video format conversions.
Up-conversion: from SD (4:3) to HD (16:9)
Down-conversion: from HD (16:9) to SD (4:3)
Cross-conversion: from HD (720P) to HD (1080i), or from HD (1080i) to
HD (720P)
The maximum number of input signals for which format conversion is possible
is 16 (or 8 when only one MKS-8450G board is installed), and the maximum
number of output signals is 4 (2 for output on the MVS-8000GSF).
Notes
After format conversion, input and output signals have one-frame delays
with respect to the reference signals.
It is not possible to apply the safe title function to output signals subjected to
format conversion.
When the input reference signal for HD system is set to Tri Sync, the format
converter function is not available.
For details, see “Setting the Signal Format (Format Menu)” in Chapter 16
(Volume 2).
