Format Screen
The Formats screen shows the video format currently in use by the KONA framebuffer
(called the Primary Format) and allows you to change it. All throughout the Control Panel,
choices are always presented based on what KONA can do with the signals available and
the inputs/outputs selected. For example, on the Format screen, if the output or inputs
are a different format than the primary, then you’ll see an additional information pane
that allows you to view and edit the secondary format—including control over whether
up/down/cross conversion is employed.

Video Format (Primary and
Secondary):
These pull-down menus show the currently selected formats. If you select an alternate
value in the Primary Format using the pull-down, it will change the format used by
KONA's framebuffer.
When a change is made via the Video Format pull-down or by clicking an icon and
selecting a new format via a contextual menu, the block diagram will change to reflect
the new format. In the case of a Secondary Format, the formats available can vary based
on what the Primary Format is and the input signal (frame rates of input sources limits
the to/from conversion choices).
The “Secondary Video Format” pull-down menu lists all compatible formats for selection
(incompatible formats are not shown). This allows you to see what you've chosen, and
also see those formats that are compatible with the selected Primary format.
Pixel Format: Use this pulldown menu to choose: YUV-10, YUV-8, RGB-10, or ARGB-8
