Specifying your video output settings (MXO2 Mini)
¦NoteWhen you connect an analog component device to MXO2 Mini, you
won’t be able to connect an S-Video or composite device at the same time. If
you’re outputting HD analog component video, the composite and S-Video
outputs will be invalid.
4 From the Set main channel format to menu, you can select the video
output format that you want for the MXO2 Mini main channel. For a list of
the supported video output formats for the MXO2 Mini main and SD
channels, see “Supported main and SD video output formats” on page 166.
$ Follow application Sets the main channel’s video output to match your
project’s video format, or to a compatible format for your project. For
example, if your project’s video format is NTSC, the MXO2 main channel
will be set to NTSC as well. If your project’s video format is 720p at
23.98 fps, the MXO2 main channel will be set to the compatible 720p at
59.94 fps output format.
$ 486p/576p Sets the main channel’s video output to either 486p or
576p, depending on your project’s video frame rate. For example, a 720p
at 23.98 fps project will be output as 486p, and a 720p at 25 fps project
will be output as 576p.
$ 720p Sets the main channel’s video output to 720p at a frame rate
compatible with your project’s video frame rate.
$ 1080 Sets the main channel’s video output to a 1080i, 1080PsF, or
1080p format, depending on your project’s video format.
5 Under Channel Selection, select the video channel (main or SD) that you
want for your MXO2 Mini analog (composite, S-Video, and component) and
HDMI outputs:
$ Main channel Outputs your project’s video as defined for the main
channel (see step 4).
$ SD channel Outputs your project’s video as NTSC or PAL, depending
on your project’s video output frame rate.
6 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.”
7 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.
