$ 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.

8 Under HDMI 3D Viewing Mode, select the 3D Signal type that will be

sent to your 3D monitor via MXO2 Mini’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, however 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).

$ Over/Under Select this for over/under 3D video (also referred to as top

bottom).

¦NoteThis feature may not be supported on some 3D monitors.

9 Under Miscellaneous, select First field, Second field, or Both fields

from the

Scrub and pause menu to indicate whether you want to display

both fields or only one field when pausing video playback or scrubbing the

timeline in your project. For example, you may want to scrub the first or

second field to eliminate the flickering that can be seen in your picture when

you pause while scrubbing interlaced video.

10 From the Set HDMI output to menu, select the type of video signal that

you want to be sent from the HDMI output:

$ YUV Outputs YUV HDMI video. Select this only if you connected the

HDMI output to a device that accepts a YUV signal.

$ RGB - calibrated Outputs adjusted RGB HDMI video using the

currently loaded Matrox HDMI calibration settings for your HDMI

monitor or television. For details on calibrating your HDMI monitor and

loading HDMI calibration settings using the Matrox HDMI Calibration

Utility, see Chapter 8, “Calibrating Your HDMI Monitor for Video.”

$ RGB - native Outputs native RGB HDMI video that does not apply any

calibration compensation. This is useful when you want to output RGB

HDMI video to a device other than an HDMI monitor or television, such

as an HDMI recorder to perform an export to tape.
