Defining your General settings
7 If the Aspect Ratio Conversion list is available, such as when the video
output for an HD project is downconverted to NTSC or PAL, select one of
the following settings for the video output:
$ 16x9 Letterbox Outputs the widescreen 16:9 picture in letterbox mode
by adding black bars at the top and bottom of the picture for display on a
standard 4:3 television screen.
$ Anamorphic Outputs the widescreen 16:9 picture as horizontally
compressed 4:3 video, which retains the picture’s full vertical resolution
for display on a widescreen television. To display the video with the correct
proportions on an NTSC or PAL monitor, select the 16:9 display setting on
the monitor.
8 If the Pulldown Method list is available, select the pulldown method you
want to be applied to your output video (
Standard 2:3 or Advanced
2:3:3:2
). You should select Advanced 2:3:3:2 only if you’ll be recording
to a DV-1394 device that supports this pulldown method. Depending on your
project’s frame rate and the current master output format, a pulldown method
may automatically be selected.
9 Select Allow Super White to allow the highest luminance level of your
video output to exceed the standard maximum white level. Select
Allow
Super Black
to allow the lowest luminance level of your video output to fall
below the standard black level.
¦NoteSuper white and super black should not be allowed when producing
your final video production for broadcast.
10 Under Analog Setup (NTSC), select the setup level you want for your
NTSC analog video (this affects both the input and output):
$ 0 IRE Applies a setup level of 0 IRE. You should select this option only
when working with a commercial DV-1394 device that uses the Japanese
analog NTSC setup of 0 IRE. For example, if the video appears too bright
when you play back DV clips on your NTSC monitor, you can change the
setup to 0 IRE to output your DV clips at the correct brightness.
$ 7.5 IRE Applies the standard NTSC setup level of 7.5 IRE.
11 Under Advanced Settings, use the following sliders to make timing
adjustments to your video output:
$ SC/H Phase Advances or delays the video output’s subcarrier phase with
respect to the horizontal sync of your genlock source (for composite video
only).
$ SDI Horizontal Delay Advances or delays the horizontal timing of the
SDI video output.
12 Click OK to save your settings and return to the Project Settings dialog
box.
