Separate information panes will be listed (as applicable) for SDI Outputs 1 and 2.
Information that can appear includes the following items. You can view the current
setting or click on another to change to it:
Primary—when selected, this indicates that the SDI output is set to the same
format as the framebuffer. That value will be listed in blue.
Secondary—when selected, this indicates that the SDI output is set to a format
different from the framebuffer (Primary Format). That secondary format value
will be listed in green. This shows that active processing of the video is taking
place (format change and possibly even up/down-conversion).
Dual Link—when selected, this indicates that both SDI outputs are being used
together to output a 4:4:4 dual-link signal from the KONA 3 card.
Video+Key—when selected, this indicates that the SDI output 1 video is set to the
same format as the framebuffer. SDI output 2 is set to a video key signal
associated with output 1 (the shape to be cut out from the video - this will
appear as a black and white image/matte). Using the second KONA output as
an Alpha Channel key, with the video output, may be useful for feeding
production switchers, DVEs or other professional video equipment. If
Video+Key has been selected as an output, the block diagram will indicate the
SDI outputs with video in blue and the key in red.
