AFD Out SDI1/2 AFD Out SDI1/2 determines whether the Video Processor inserts a SMPTE 2016
Active Format Descriptor (AFD) packet into its output video. The inserted AFD code
does not affect the Video Processor's up/down/cross conversion, but it may affect
downstream video processing if the signal is Downconverted.
Note: AFD codes are only inserted into HD video outputs.
AFD VANC
Output Line AFD VANC Output Line determines which video output line has AFD VANC inserted
(HD output only) on the Video Processor output.

The FS2 does not insert an AFD code into the output. If the video input
has a AFD code and the FS2 is not up/down/cross-converting it, the
input AFD code will be passed through to the output.
If the FS2 is not upconverting or Downconverting the input video, the
input AFD code is passed through. If there is no AFD code on the
input video, a “Full Frame” (8) code is inserted. If the FS2 is
upconverting, the appropriate AFD code will be chosen based on the
upconvert mode.
The FS2 always inserts a “Box > 16:9 (center)” AFD code (4), which
indicates that the HD image has an aspect ratio greater than 16:9 as a
vertically centered letterbox within the 16:9 frame.
The FS2 always inserts a “Full Frame” AFD code (8), which indicates that
the HD image is full frame, with an aspect ratio that is 16:9.
The FS2 always inserts a “4:3 (center)” AFD code (9), which indicates that
the HD image has a 4:3 aspect ratio as a horizontally center pillarbox
image within the 16:9 frame.
The FS2 always inserts a “16:9 (with complete 16:9 image protected)”
AFD code (10), which indicates that the HD image is full frame, with a
16:9 aspect ratio and all image areas are protected.
The FS2 always inserts a “14:9 (center)” AFD code (11), which indicates
that the HD image has a 14:9 aspect ratio as a horizontally centered
pillarbox within the 16:9 frame.
The FS2 always inserts a “4:3 (with alternate 14:9 center)” AFD code (13),
which indicates that the HD image has a 4:3 aspect ratio and with an
alternative 14:9 centered pillarbox image within the 16:9 frame.
The FS2 always inserts a “16:9 (with alternative 14:9 center” AFD code
(14), which indicates that the HD image has a 16:9 aspect ratio with
an alternative 14:9 center within the 16:9 frame.
The FS2 always inserts a “16:9 (with alternative 4:3 center)” AFD code
(15), which indicates that the HD image has a 16:9 aspect ratio with
an alternative 4:3 center within the 16:9 frame.
