TABBED SETTINGS
Use the tabs (Figure 6-1) to view settings for each
tab in the lower right area of the window. Each tab
is discussed in the following sections.
SETUP
The Setup tab (Figure 6-19) has the following
settings.
Auto Detect Input Format
The Auto Detect Input Format option (Figure 6-19)
lets you choose the degree to which the V4HD will
automatically detect the video format for the input
currently chosen in the Video Source menu
(Figure 6-3).
Manual
Choose Manual to specify the format by hand from
the HD and SD output format menus in the signal
path diagram.
Figure 6-20: Manually specifying the input format.
Most of the time, you will probably use the Genlock
and Format and Genlock modes discussed below,
which automatically detect the incoming video
signal. However, there may be times when it is
useful for you to be able to manually determine
format. For example, if you are feeding a
compromised video signal to the V4HD, setting the
format manually might produce the best results in
terms of capturing the degraded signal, as the
V4HD may be able to better maintain genlock.
Manual Refresh button
When you choose Manual mode from the Auto
Detect Input Formant menu, the Manual Refresh
button appears in the Setup tab (Figure 6-21).
Click this button to force the V4HD to relock to the
incoming video signal. This may be necessary after
restarting the signal, swapping cables, etc.
Figure 6-21: Manual Refresh button.
Genlock
The Genlock option causes the V4HD to
automatically genlock to the incoming video
signal, but you can still specify the video format,
according to what makes sense, given the
genlocked signal. For example, there is no way for
the V4HD to differentiate 1080i29.97 input from
Figure 6-19: The Setup tab settings.
