How to Use the AFD Conversion Tables

If the user would like to select a different output format, they can select any
one of the five aspect ratio modes,

Auto

,

Full Width

,

14x9 SP

,

Full Height

, or

Ana-

morphic

with any one of the five alignment choices. Not all resulting outputs

are supported by the SMPTE standard. Unsupported outputs will report an
AFD Output Code of

0000

or undefined.

Use the Input Code in relation to the Up and Down conversion tables to
determine what output codes are supported based on the Input Code and
the aspect ratio Mode and Alignment settings.

To change this output code format to a different one, look at the 16:9
outputs available in the

AFD Codes For 16:9 Coded Frames on page 125

as

illustrated in

Table 15 on page 125

.

If the user needed a 14x9 output format for example, they would go to the
Up Conversion table section and locate the Mode = 14x9 SP table,

Table 22

on page 133

.

Under each Alignment choice in the table, locate the Input Code

1000

and

note if there are any supported SMPTE binary output codes available in the
Output Code column. Unsupported codes are identified as

0000

.

In this case, choosing the

14x9 SP

mode and selecting

Center

,

Top

,

Left

or

Right

on the Aspect Ratio web page and selecting

Apply Aspect Ratio Selections

will

change the AFD Output to AFD Output Code

1011

as shown in the Aspect

Ratio web page shown in

Figure 68 on page 122

.

This AFD Output Code,

1011

, produces an image with a 14x9 aspect ratio

as a horizontally centered pillarbox image in a 16:9 coded frame similar to
the image in

Figure 67

.
