Operation Manual

o SMPTE-2016-3 VANC: This option causes the encoder to extract AFD from the
VANC. It is only available for SDI inputs or if the video input settings are auto-
detected.
o Manual AFD Selection: This option allows the user to specify a fixed AFD code
to be inserted. Any AFD information received from the input is ignored. This
can be used to override the original AFD information, or when the video is being
scaled (e.g., when the input is HD and is being converted to SD).
 AFD Code: This control is displayed only when AFD Source is set to Manual AFD
Selection. It corresponds to the codes listed in SMPTE-2016-1, Table 1.
HD
SD-SDI
Auto-Detected
Composite
Note that if Video Input Settings is set to Auto Detected, the encoder will comply with the
AFD Source if possible, but may fall back to another setting depending on the input signal. For
example, if AFD Source is set to Line 20/23 WSS and the encoder detects an HD signal, it will
fall back to SMPTE-2016-3 VANC. Conversely, if it is set to SMPTE-2016-3 VANC and it
detects a composite signal, it will fall back to Line 20/23 WSS (and automatically use the correct
line number based on the input signal). Manual AFD Selection is always honored.
