AJA 3GM 3G/1.5G HD-SDI Multiplexer User Manual — User Controls
Switch 4 —Manually select the input signal bit depth: 10 or 12-bit
Switch 5 —Select linear or log color (MON TYPE)
Switch 6 —Select SMPTE or FULL range color values for input
(MON RNG)
Switch 7—Select between Video or Key for Monitor output
LEFT (10 Bit) RIGHT (12 Bit)
10-Bit:
If Dipswitch 8 is set to Manual or there is no
payload ID, the 3GM will behave as if the
input video is 10-bit.
If payload ID is present and Dipswitch 8 is
set to
Auto , the 3GM uses the video
specifications in the payload ID.
12-Bit:
If Dipswitch 8 is set to Manual or there is no
payload ID, the 3GM will behave as if the input
video is 12-bit.
If payload ID is present and Dipswitch 8 is set to
Auto , the 3GM uses the video specifications in the
payload ID.
LEFT (LIN) RIGHT (LOG)
LIN:
Configure input video as linear color.
Will colorspace convert and resample as
needed.
Note: Switches 5, 6, and 7 only affect the
monitor output.This switch has no effect on
primary outputs (linear or log color in results
in the same output)
LOG:
Configure input video as logarithmic color.
Will perform a 10-bit Cineon to 8-bit linear
conversion before colorspace converting and
resampling the monitor output.
Note: Switches 5, 6, and 7 only affect the monitor
output.This switch has no effect on primary
outputs (linear or log color in results in the same
output)
LEFT (SMPTE) RIGHT (FULL)
SMPTE:
Defines input video as SMPTE color range
(040h-3ACh).
Note: Switches 5, 6, and 7 only affect the
monitor output.This switch has no effect on
primary outputs (SMPTE in/ SMPTE out).
FULL:
Defines input video as FULL color range (004h-
3FBh).
Note: Switches 5, 6, and 7 only affect the monitor
output.This switch has no effect on primary
outputs (FULL in/ FULL out).
LEFT (Video, Input A) RIGHT (Key, Input B)
VID/A:
For video input with an Alpha channel, this
sets the monitor output to Video in the case
of 4:4:4:4 video input.
For video input without an Alpha channel,
this sets the monitor output to be Link A.
Note: Switches 5, 6, and 7 only affect the
monitor output.This switch has no effect on
primary outputs.
KEY/B:
For video input with an Alpha channel, this sets
monitor output to the Alpha (key) in the case of
4:4:4:4 video input.
For video input without an Alpha channel, this sets
the monitor output to be Link B.
Note: Switches 5, 6, and 7 only affect the monitor
output.This switch has no effect on primary
outputs.
