1080psf: The output video format will be 1080psf23.98 (for 23.98 fps video inputs),
1080psf24 (for 24 fps video inputs), 1080psf25 (for 25 or 50 fps video inputs),
1080psf29.97 (for 29.97 or 59.94 video inputs), or 1080psf30 (for 30 or 60 fps video
inputs).

1080p (low): The output video format will be 1080p23.98 (for 23.98 fps video
inputs), 1080p24 (for 24 fps video inputs), 1080p25 (for 25 or 50 fps video inputs),
1080p29.97 (for 29.97 or 59.94 video inputs), or 1080p30 (for 30 or 60 fps video
inputs).

1080p (high): The output video format will be 1080p50 (for 25 or 50 fps video
inputs), 1080p59.94 (for 23.98, 29.97 or 59.94 video inputs), or 1080p60 (for 24, 30 or
60 fps video inputs).

NOTE:

UDC converts 3G-A formats only. It does not input or output 3G-B.

Add 3:2 Pulldown: When the Add 3:2 Pull down box is checked, 23.98 fps and 24 fps
video inputs are converted to 29.97 fps and 30 fps, respectively, by adding 3:2 pull down
before conversion. Note that this selection is only used when the UDC module is in
Remote mode (DIP switch #1). In Local mode, 3:2 pull down addition is determined by
DIP switch #6.

Genlock: Determines the timing reference for the UDC video output. The selected
reference is displayed to the right of the Genlock pull-down. These are the choices:

Auto (default): Auto uses the reference input if present, or locks to the SDI input if no
reference is present or if the reference is present but is not compatible.

Lock to Input: Always locks to the SDI input.

Lock to Reference: Always locks to the Reference input – if the supplied reference is
not compatible, reverts to Free Run.

Free Run: Always operates in Free Run mode.

Up Convert: Determines the mode when converting from SD input video to an HD
output video format. This selection is only used when the UDC module is in Remote
mode (DIP switch #1). In Local mode, the up convert mode is determined by DIP switch
#7. These are the choices:

4x3 Pillar: Produces 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars.

14x9 Pillar (default): Produces 14x9 image, zoomed slightly to fill a 14x9 image with
black sidebars.

Full Screen: Produces anamorphic full screen display.

LB to Full Image: Produces image zoomed to fit the full screen (letterbox).

Wide Zoom: Produces an image sized to fit a 16x9 screen using a combination of
zoom and stretch. (This can introduce a small aspect ratio change.)

Down Convert: Determines the mode when converting from HD input video to an SD
output video format. Note that this selection is only used when the UDC module is in
Remote mode (DIP switch #1). In Local mode, the upconvert mode is determined by DIP
switch #8. These are the choices:

Crop (default): Image is cropped to fit new screen size.

Anamorphic: HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio
(anamorphic).
