8 Under HDMI 3D Viewing Mode, select the 3D Signal type that will be

sent to your 3D monitor via MXO2’s HDMI output. This option signals your

3D monitor to automatically switch to the selected 3D viewing mode. You

must select the signal type that matches the 3D video that you want to

output, or disable this option (this feature may not be supported on some 3D

monitors).

$ Disabled Select this if you’re not outputting 3D video, or to disable this

option. You can still monitor 3D video, but you must select the correct

viewing mode on your 3D monitor manually.

$ Side by Side Select this for horizontally-compressed side-by-side 3D

video (also referred to as side-by-side horizontal).

$ Over/Under Select this for over/under 3D video (also referred to as top

bottom).

¦NoteIf your Avid Media Composer or Avid Symphony project’s

Stereoscopic setting is anything other than Side by side, Over/Under, or

Full, make sure that you set the HDMI 3D Viewing Mode to Disabled. For

example, if your project’s

Stereoscopic setting is Off or Leading Eye, you

must disable the

HDMI 3D Viewing Mode option in order to properly view

the HDMI output.

9 Under Miscellaneous, select First field, Second field, or Both fields

from the

Scrub and pause menu to indicate whether you want to display

both fields or only one field when pausing video playback or scrubbing the

timeline in your project. For example, you may want to scrub the first or

second field to eliminate the flickering that can be seen in your picture when

you pause while scrubbing interlaced video.

HDMI output to a device that accepts a YUV signal.

$ RGB - calibrated Outputs adjusted RGB HDMI video using the

HDMI video to a device other than an HDMI monitor or television, such

as an HDMI recorder to perform an export to tape.
