Scaler Video Format Conversions
• SD: Output Half-rate 720p When drop-down list is set to 720p, converts output to
720p half-rate.
Yes/No control functions as follows:
• No: Do not apply half-rate; leave output at standard frame rate
• Yes: Output set at half- rate
Note: Half-rate outputs are available for the 720p frame rates listed under
“720p” in the “Scaler Video Format Conversions” table on the
previous page.
• SD: Output PsF When enabled (and with the output video is set to 1080 film), converts the
output to1080PsF (segmented frame progressive).

Scaler Video Format Conversions
The Scaler (as shown and described in the following pages) allows selection of up-conversion (or
no conversion) for SD input formats. The table below lists the conversion choices available for
SD input formats and frame rates provided by the Scaler Convert to: function. Also shown are
the resulting frame rates for the converted outputs.

Notes: 1. The drop-down list choice of “Same as Input” is used when no conversion is desired. For clarity, it is not redundantly
listed here.
2. “X” denotes conversions not available or invalid conversions.
3. Interlaced formats rates listed are field rates. Progressive format rates listed are frame rates.
4. If the original material does not have a proper 3-2 cadence suitable for conversion to film rates, the conversion
reverts to standard de-interlacing. While this video can be converted to film rates, the resulting image motion will
lack smoothness. Therefore, make certain interlaced video is appropriately constructed for 3-2 reverse pulldown
when converting video to film rates.
5. 9067 accepts only the input video formats listed in Input Format. If other formats are received by the card,
INVALID is displayed and the output is disabled.
