Secondary Format: Any format other than the currently selected Primary Format, is a secondary format. As
described previously, this means that either the Inputs or Outputs are somehow different
from the framebuffer’s assigned format (i.e., the “Primary Format”). This can be seen at a
glance because the color will be differ from blue. In the example below, a secondary
format of 720p59.94 is selected on the Format screen and is then used for output at SDI 2.

Input/Output Icons: The input and output icons are triangles that together with their color show all the input
and outputs and their status (selected, not selected, input present or not, format, etc.). A
complete video path is shown when inputs and outputs are connected with lines going
to/from the framebuffer.

Conversion Icons: When an input or output is a different standard than the framebuffer, the Io XT may be
up- down- or cross-converting the signal to the selected standard. This may be
automatic, because it's detected an input signal that differs from the standard currently
selected, or because you've explicitly told it to convert. In either case, the block diagram
will show the conversion by displaying a conversion icon in between the input/output
and the framebuffer.
