[Mask_1.33], [Mask_1.66], [Mask_1.78], [Mask_1.85], [Mask_2.35]
Indicate the actual aspect ratio of the video
content (as opposed to the full-frame content
stored on the DVD or Blu-ray disc). These signals
can be used to recall presets on a masking
system or scaler.
[Conservative_1.33], [Conservative_1.66], [Conservative_1.78],
[Conservative_1.85], Conservative_2.35]
The [Conservative_x] signals are similar to
the [Mask_x] signals, but represent a more
conservative estimate of the image aspect ratio.
This value will never go too far into the actual
picture. For instance, if a 2.35 movie were a bit
taller than 2.35 and a true 2.35 mask would crop
the image a bit, the conservative information
would suggest the next most open value: 1.85 -
[Mask_2.35] and [Conservative_1.85]
would both be active. Do not use these signals in
conjunction with the [Mask_x] signals — use
one set or the other.
Lighting cues
[Lights_Movie] Pulses for 0.5 seconds when entering movie
playback. This uses the [Main_Content_fb]
signal and has the same restrictions. This is
buffered so that it can be jammed with a touch
panel button.
[Lights_Intermission] Pulses for 0.5 seconds when entering
Intermission. This is buffered so it can be
jammed with a touch panel button.
[Lights_End_Credits] Pulses for 0.5 seconds when end credits are
shown. This is buffered so that it can be jammed
with a touch panel button.
[Lights_Menu] Pulses for 0.5 seconds when returning to the
Kaleidescape OSD from playback. This is
buffered so that it can be jammed with a touch
panel button.
[Lights_Disc_Menu] Pulses for 0.5 seconds when entering the disc
menu as indicated by the [Disc_Menu_fb]
signal. This is buffered so that it can be jammed
with a touch panel button.
