9.10 Versatile Dual HD-SDI

The Video Outputs parameters, in the Phantom Video Player Settings dialogue window, are used to

define the video feed mode. Presently there are four feed modes supported, including:

· Single-Feed (4:2:2)

· Single-Feed Mode with Dual Link 4:4:4

· Dual Feed Mode (4:2:2)

· Dual-Feed with 4:4:4

The Versatile Dual HD-SDI feature allows maintaining a live video feed while simultaneously playing

back recorded images from the camera memory. The feature has also improved the handling of

active metadata, or video image adjustments, to allow proper handling during pipelined recording/

playback operations.

NOTE

Presently only the Phantom v740, v640, v310, and v12.1 Camera supports this feature.

Also, the handling of video adjustments has changed. Previously, when changing any of the values,

they would apply to the video image, both live and playback. Now, changing a video adjustment value

will only apply to the live image out of the camera, in either single-feed or dual-feed mode. For

playback, the values that were active when the cine was recorded will be used.

Below is a description of each of the video feed operational modes:

Single-Feed Mode (4:2:2)

This mode provides both the live and playback feeds, from the RAM, over the video memory channel.

This is exactly how the video feeds were handled previously. The high-speed channel is used as the

recording source for the Phantom CineMag, if fitted.

Only one video pipeline is used at a time.
