3D Modes Supported
The Hi5-3D supports, depending on the video format, "side-by-side", "top-bottom", and
"frame-packing" 3D modes. The "side-by-side" and "top-bottom" modes involve compressing,
either horizontally or vertically, each input for combining into a single video stream at the
same rate of the inputs. The "frame-packing" mode stacks two full resolution inputs into a
"tall" frame (at twice the clock and line rates). When selected, "frame-packing" can only be
used with 23.98/24Hz input frame rates. Each input, in addition to 3D processing, can be
flipped either horizontally, vertically, or both. This control is provided by 4 switches that can
be engaged in any combination.
Format support
The Hi5-3D works with both 2D and 3D inputs. When in the 2D mode, the input is simply
passed to the output unmodified. In the 3D mode, the Hi5-3D supports the minimum required
3D modes as defined by the CEA for HDMI 1.4a televisions.
CEA Required 3D modes:
2xSDI 1.5gb 720p50/59.94/60 T/B
2xSDI 1.5gb 1080p23.98/24 T/B, FP
2xSDI 1.5gb 1080psf23.98/24 T/B, FP
2xSDI 1.5gb 1080i50/59.94 S/S
Notes: "psf" inputs are converted to "p" for HDMI output. The SDI output can support S/S and T/B
formats only. Future software versions may add other frame rates.
User Control
The Hi5-3D supports both dipswitch control and host control via the MiniConfig application.
One of the dipswitches is a "Local/Remote" switch. When in the "Local" mode, the remaining
dipswitches support a subset of the user controls. When in the "Remote" mode, AJA’s
MiniConfig application controls the unit (or control as last set).
