Chapter 7, Configuring Your MXO2 System
channel’s video output to 1080i at 29.97 fps (a pulldown will be applied to
the video output).
¦NoteWhen a pulldown is required to convert 23.98 fps video for output,
you can select the pulldown method that you want to use (see step 5).
4 Under Channel Selection, select the video channel (main or SD) that you
want for your MXO2 analog (composite, S-Video, and component), SDI,
and HDMI outputs:
$ Main channel Outputs your project’s video as defined for the main
channel (see step 3).
$ SD channel Outputs your project’s video as NTSC or PAL, depending
on your project’s video output frame rate.
5 Under Channel Behavior, select the Pulldown method that is applied to
the video output when converting 23.98 fps to 29.97 fps or 59.94 fps (see
“Supported main and SD video output formats” on page 166). In all other
instances, this option does not apply. For information on the available
pulldown methods, see Appendix A, “Understanding Pulldown.”
6 Under Channel Behavior, select the 16:9 to SD aspect ratio conversion
option to be used when downconverting 16:9 material to SD, or when
outputting SD 16:9 material:
$ 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.
$ Center cut Outputs the widescreen 16:9 picture by evenly cropping the
left and right edges 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.
7 Under HDMI 3D Viewing Mode, select the 3D Signal type that will be
sent to your 3D monitor via MXO2’s HDMI output. This option signals your
3D monitor to automatically switch to the selected 3D viewing mode. You
must select the signal type that matches the 3D video that you want to
output, or disable this option.
$ Disabled Select this if you’re not outputting 3D video, or to disable this
option. You can still monitor 3D video, but you must select the correct
viewing mode on your 3D monitor manually.
$ Side by Side Select this for horizontally-compressed side-by-side 3D
video (also referred to as side-by-side horizontal).
