3-14 9061 PRODUCT MANUAL 9061-OM (V4.9)
Provides video format up/down/cross-conversions and
aspect ratio controls.
Note: Scaling and/or format conversion removes Dolby ® metadata and ATC packets (if present). If Dolby ® metadata is present
and needs to be preserved, use the Dolby Metadata function tab to preserve and re-apply the metadata on the output
SDI. Refer to Dolby Metadata function on page 3-43 for more information.
• Scaler enable Enables or bypasses Scaler function as follows:
• Enabled: Provides Scaler functions for the received video input.
• Bypassed: Received video input bypasses the Scaler functions.
Scaler
• Current Input Format Displays the input format of the video currently being received by the 9061
(for example, 1080p at 29.97 Hz frame rate as shown here).
Note: Rates displayed for progressive formats are frame rates; rates
displayed for interlaced formats are field rates.
Current Input Format
• Current Output Format Displays the currently selected output format of the video currently being
processed by the 9061 (for example, 1080p at 29.97 Hz frame rate as
shown here). The output format displayed is the output present on the
card’s SDI OUT BNC connectors.
Current Output Format
Note: Output format shown in this display tracks with selection made in
or drop-down lists. Output Format
display only tracks with changes applicable to the currently
received input format (for example, when currently receiving HD
video, changes made in the
drop-down list have no
effect on the Output Format display). Output format also tracks
with any applicable Scaler functions that affect output format.
Note: Rates displayed for progressive formats are frame rates; rates
displayed for interlaced formats are field rates.
Note: SD: controls described below affect SD inputs; HD: controls described below affect HD inputs.
• SD: Convert To When SD video input is received by the 9061, provides output format
conversions, or re-aspecting to SD when SD is the detected input format
as described below.
• SD (Same as input): Output follows currently received video input
format, with Current Input Format and Current Output Format
displays showing same selection.
• 720p: Output is converted to 720p
• 720 film: Output is converted to corresponding 720p film frame rate
• 1080i: Output is converted to 1080i
• 1080p: Output is converted to 1080p

Reference Video Input
Note: Output Follows Reference In selection automatically sets
the output format to that of the received reference signal
input (this signal is distributed to the 9061 and other cards
via a frame bus). In addition to extracting a frame sync and
rate, this function determines the type of black burst (i.e.,
black burst or tri-level) and sets the output format to match.
