1. Button Resolution

Button Resolution is used to select different resolution for SDI outputs. The

LEDs from PAL to 1080p will indicate the selected video resolution. The output resolution is NTSC when all 4 lights out.

When pushing Button Resolution and holding for 2 seconds, LED 3+4 will blink once to indicate the current resolution is saved into the embedded flash.

2. Button Video Frame

Button Video Frame is used to select different frame rates for SDI outputs.

The LEDs from 24Hz to 60Hz will indicate the selected video frame rate.

When all 7 lights out, the output rate is 23.98Hz.

When pushing Button Video Frame and holding for 2 seconds, LED 3+4 will blink once to indicate the SMPTE color bar pattern is chosen and saved into the embedded flash.

3. Button Audio Group

Button Audio Group is used to setup SDI audio output. The LED 1+2 and 3+4 indicate the selected audio group.

When pushing Button Audio Group and holding for 2 seconds, LED 3+4 will blink once to indicate the Check Field pattern is chosen and saved into the embedded flash.

Note: This device can support tens of video pattern and other features such

as moving picture or audio level control etc! Users must be able to access

those plus functions by RS-232 serial connection.
