Selecting a Video Format
The MAXX-1200 can record and play video in six high definition video formats:
1080i @ 59.94 Hz 1080i @ 50 Hz 1080i @ 24 PsF
720p @ 59.94 Hz 720p @ 50 Hz 1080i @ 23.98 PsF
To select a video format, go to Edit/Configure/Timing dialog on the GUI. Select a check-box
for the rate at which you will record or play. A reminder will appear to stop video on all channels
and prepare for automatic restart in the new format. This takes at least 12 seconds, so the change
should not be performed on-air.
Figure 4 - Selecting Video Format
The MAXX-1200 must be set to operate in one format at a time; it does not play mixed video
formats when the video format is changed, the only files visible on the GUI will be those recorded in
the currently-selected video format. Files in another format will become visible when the server is
placed in that operational mode. For clarity, it is a good idea to store content in directories that are
separated according to video format.
The 24 Hz and 23.976 Hz 1080i PsF (Progressive Segmented Frame) video formats can play
files referenced to the internal crystal reference, or to the server input when External Video Sync is
selected.
Audio is recorded and played at the industry standard of 48K, regardless of the video format
selected.
