SD to SD Aspect Ration Conversion
• Letterbox: This transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed
image.
• H Crop: Will produce a horizontally stretched effect on the image;
transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
• SD Pillarbox: Will produce an image in the center of the screen with
black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image
in the center
• V Crop: Will transform SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image.
Timecode
• LTC timecode input and output (via 1 x BNC each)
Reference Input
• Analog Color Black (1V) or Composite Sync (2 or 4V)
• Looping
• 75 ohm on optional K3G-Box, terminated on supplied breakout cable

Cross-Conversion
• Hardware 10-bit
• 1080i to 720p
• 720p to 1080i
• 720p to 1080PsF
Up-Conversion
• Hardware 10-bit
• Anamorphic: full-screen
• Pillar box 4:3: results in a 4:3 image in centerof screen with black
sidebars
• Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image
with black side bars
• Zoom Letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill full screen
• Zoom Wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to
fill a 16:9 screen; this setting can introduce a small aspect ratio change
Down-Conversion
• Hardware 10-bit
• Anamorphic: full-screen
• Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image
area with the aspect ratio preserved
• Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size
