Setting Conversion Formats

Installing the MKS-8450G Format Converter Board in the MVS-8000G
enables signal video format conversions.
This operation is valid only when BB is selected in the <Ref Input Format>
group.
Format converter (for MVS-8000G only)
Installing the MKS-8450G Format Converter Board in the switcher enables 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 16 (or 8 when only one MKS-8450G board is installed), and the maximum
number of output signals is 4 (2 for output on the MVS-8000GSF).
Notes
• After format conversion, input and output signals have one-frame delays
with respect to the reference signals. To synchronize converted input signals
