Selenio X100 Installation and Operation Manual Conversion and Advanced Video Processing Aspect ratio conversion is an important part of video format conversion. The X100 supports basic pre-defined arcing controls, custom preset arcing control, code-based automatic arc control, and a highly-configurable ARC code-based table. See page 46 regarding the use of aspect ratio conversion and AFD codes, including graphical representations of ARC and AFD patterns.
The presence of incoming embedded AFD, VI, and WSS data is shown the Status parameters. AFD, VI and WSS data can be passed from input to output, or it can be generated manually or automatically by the Selenio X100. This function is controlled by the AFD-VI-WSS Insertion options.
Selenio X100 Installation and Operation Manual AFD/VI/WSS Insert The Pass option allows the incoming AFD code to be inserted unmodified. This option is only supported in SD-ARC and crossconversion modes. In up- or downconversion modes, the Pass option is equivalent to a loss of code, even when an input code is present. When a loss of code occurs, the X100 will insert your selection from the AFD/VI/WSS Pass on Loss parameters.
Page 56
Selenio X100 Installation and Operation Manual Mode Depending on the current input/output video standard setting, the X100 operates in one of four modes: upconversion, crossconversion, downconversion, or SD-ARC. The current operating mode is shown in the ARC Mode Fb parameter in the Status menu.

Selenio X100 Installation and Operation Manual Overwrite Embedding When you select Overwrite embedding, the X100 attempts to overwrite any existing audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data. This setting is valid only if the audio group to be embedded already exists. If the new sample distribution does not exactly match the existing audio data packet sample distribution, the embedder marks some audio data packets for deletion (DID word is set to 180h).
Selenio X100 Installation and Operation Manual Audio Embedding Errors Table 3-10 Audio Embedding Error Descriptions Error Description Group (1–4) This error occurs if the embedder is set to Append mode for a particular Append audio group, but that audio group already exists in the incoming SDI Embedding signal.
Selenio X100 Installation and Operation Manual Preventing Embedding Errors To avoid embedding errors, follow these guidelines: Set the embedding mode to Auto. If the group is present, it will be overwritten; if it is not present, it will be appended. The overwrite and append errors are warnings that the desired operation is not being performed.
Audio Inputs and Outputs Inputs Selenio X100 supports embedded-audio input, AES audio input, and analog audio input. In addition, the X100 processes embedded audio from the SDI video input in SD, HD, or 3G (Level A and Level B-DL) formats, and include two independent audio de-embedders—each supporting sixteen mono channels.
Dolby, DTS Neural, and DTS Neural Surround options. Synchronization Parameters The Selenio X100 performs sample rate conversion on all audio input channel pairs. Streams carrying compressed audio automatically bypass the SRC block. The Sample Rate Conversion menus (Audio Input Delay and Sync > xxxSample Rate Conversion) make it possible for you to manually bypass SRCs on a per-pair basis in situations where legacy equipment provides unreliable compressed audio signals.
