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” works only with
the following formats: 1080p23.98, and 1080p24. (Frame-packed mode does not
support psf inputs at this time.) When operating in frame-packing mode, the SDI
output will be black; the valid output is the HDMI connector.
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—or by use of the supplied AJA Mini Config software (Mac/PC).
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—or flipped (via dipswitch or Mini
Config software selection). In the 3D mode, the Hi5-3D supports the required 3D
modes as defined by the CEA for HDMI 1.4a televisions.
CEA Required 3D modes:
Notes:
• “psf” inputs are converted to “p” for HDMI and SDI output.
• The SDI output can support S/S and T/B formats only.
• Future software versions may add other frame rates.
• When a 525 or 625 source is on both inputs, the Hi5-3D will only output one
of the sources, defaulting to Input 1. In the absence of Input 1, it will output
Input 2. There are no 3D modes with SD sources; output is simply passed
through.
