SetDef Output Conversion

Each of the eight SetDef buttons report the current source, format, and crop
status for that output.

Note

A SetDef output can only be controlled from the Source Ops, SetDef
MatchDef menu when the SetDef output is assigned to the same suite as the
menu (a caution dialog will display if you attempt to change the suite with
SetDef outputs assigned). Output suite assignment can be performed in the
Eng Setup, Outputs menu.

The four

buttons activate and deactivate conversion for the pairs of

output connector buttons immediately above.
