Audio Output Digital

• 16-channel, 24-bit SDI embedded audio, 48kHz sample rate, Synchronous
• 8-channel, 24-bit HDMI embedded audio, 48kHz sample rate, Synchronous
• 8-channel, 24-bit AES/EBU audio, 48kHz sample rate, Synchronous or Non-synchronous, Internal sample rate conversion (via 4 x BNC on breakout cable)

Down-conversion

• Hardware 10-bit
• Anamorphic: full-screen
• Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved
• Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size

Up-Conversion

• Hardware 10-bit
• Anamorphic: full-screen
• Pillar box 4:3: results in a 4:3 image in center of screen with black sidebars
• Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image with black side bars
• Zoom Letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill full screen
• Zoom Wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16:9 screen; this setting can introduce a small aspect ratio change

Cross-conversion

• Hardware 10-bit
• 1080i to 720p
• 720p to 1080i
• 720p to 1080PsF

SD to SD Aspect Ration Conversion

• Letterbox: This transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image.
• H Crop: Will produce a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
• SD Pillarbox: Will produce an image in the center of the screen with black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image in the center
• V Crop: Will transform SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image.
