Reference Source
Select your reference source from the two options.
Input Select ‘input’ if your source has embedded reference that you want to
sync to. An example of this would be where your tape based deck may
have a genlock source directly connected.
External If you have an external reference device, for example the Blackmagic
Sync Generator, connected via the ‘ref in’ connection on the rear,
select ‘external’.
3G-SDI Output
Some broadcast equipment can only receive level A or level B 3G-SDI video.
Tomaintain compatibility, tap either ‘level A’ or‘level B’.
Tap ‘level a’ or ‘level b’
Reference Timing
If you are archiving from analog based tape decks, you may find you need to adjust the
reference timing for accurate color representation. This is especially the case if you
don’t have avalid reference signal. The reference adjustment lets you adjust the timing
of the video outputs of your hardware relative to the video reference input. This is
commonly used in large broadcast facilities where the video output needs to be
accurately timed. The reference adjustment is in samples so you can get an extremely
accurate timing adjustment down to the sample level.
Adjust the number of lines and pixels by tapping the arrow to the left to decrease or the
arrow to the right to increase.
Tap on the arrows to increase or decrease your timing lines and pixels.
Playback Dynamic Range
To change your playback dynamic range to match your source, tap on the arrows to the
left and right.
