Section 3 — Menu Descriptions
VIDEO/KEY FMT Sets the output processing to provide the type
of signal desired as an input to the external device that is to use the
signal: UNSHAPED if the video is already shaped but the device
needs a full screen-sized picture, or SHAPED if the device can
accept video that has already been processed by a key signal. Note
that this selection applies only to the Program output and Aux 1-4
signals, and it applies to Aux 1-4 only if the Effects Send option is
present. Without the Effects Send option, the Aux 1-4 outputs pass
whatever signal is present, either shaped or unshaped.
When the Effects Send option is not present, the
SHAPED/UNSHAPED
selections for the Aux Buses are not in the
menu.
LIMITER Turns the limiter on or off. The ON position allows
adjustment of the Program Output characteristics, as follows.
Note that this selection applies only to the Program output signal.
LUM CLIP Adjusts the luminance clipping level of the
output signal. This clips out luminance levels above the
selected threshold. The range of the soft knob is from 75 IRE
to 138 IRE. The default setting is 105 IRE.
CHROMA CLIP Adjusts the chrominance clipping level of
the output signal. This clips out chrominance levels above the
selected threshold. The range of the soft knob is from 80% to
120%. The default setting is 105%.
COMPOSITE CLIP Adjusts the composite clipping level of
the output signal. This clips out chrominance and luminance
levels above the selected threshold. The range of the soft knob
is from 75 IRE to 138 IRE. The default setting is 138 IRE.
BLACK CLIP Adjusts the black clipping level of the output
signal. This clips out luminance levels below the selected
threshold. The range of the soft knob is from -20 IRE to 10 IRE.
The default setting is -20 IRE.
OUTPUT TIMING — Allows adjustment of reference timing and
electrical path length of the switcher, thereby affecting output
signal timing.
DIGITAL RES> — Displays the Output Digital Resolution Menu.
