1080/720 cross convert function
You can output 720 while playing discs recorded as 1080,
and output 1080 while playing discs recorded as 720.
When the system frequency of the loaded disc (59.94i/
59.94P/29.97P or 50i/50P/25P) matches the system
frequency of the unit, but the system line settings (1080 or
720) do not match, then an "FC" mark appears and disc
playback is cross converted automatically. E-E output is
not cross converted.
SD up convert function
By installing the separately sold PDBK-S1500 option, you
can output HD while playing discs recorded as SD.
HD down convert function
You can always output SD while playing discs recorded as
HD.
To specify the frame to use as the
thumbnail image
You can display a list of thumbnails of all clips on a disc,
and use it to check the recorded content (see page 64).
When the unit is shipped from the factory, it is set up to
display the first frame of each clip as the thumbnail. As
required, you can select another frame to display as the
thumbnail.
For example, if there are several seconds of color bars
recorded at the start of the clip, selecting a frame several
seconds after the end of the recording of color bars can
make it easier to identify the clip.
The GUI screen allows you to select thumbnail frames
while viewing the video.
For details, see “Changing clip index pictures” (page 67).
You can also use setup menu item 143 INDEX PICTURE
POSITION to specify a different default frame. You can
specify the initial frame in any of the first few seconds
after the initial frame. The setting range is 0 seconds to 10
seconds.
