signal video format conversions.
This operation is valid only when BB is selected in the

following signal video format conversions.
• Up-conversion: from SD (4:3) to HD (16:9)
• Down-conversion: from HD (16:9) to SD (4:3)
• Cross-conversion: from HD (720P) to HD (1080i), or from HD (1080i) to

HD (720P)

The maximum number of input signals for which format conversion is possible
is 8, and the maximum number of output signals is 2.

• After format conversion, input and output signals have one-frame delays

with respect to the reference signals.

• It is not possible to apply the safe title function to output signals subjected to

format conversion.

• When the input reference signal for HD system is set to Tri Sync, the format

converter function is not available.
