Monitor Output Digital

1x HDMI standard type A connector

HD/SD

Color space, YCbCr or RGB

Bit depth, 8 or 10

RGB Range, SMPTE or Full Range

Video Processing

Frame rate conversion/film cadence removal/insertion (3:2)

Freeze (on input signal loss) to black or last good frame

AFD input detection, down-convert control

Nominal video delay HD/SD, 1 frame

Up-Conversion

Hardware 10-bit

4x3 Pillar: results in a 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars

14x9 Pillar: results in a 4x3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14x9 image with black side bars

Full Screen: results in a 4x3 image stretched horizontally to fill in a 16x9 screen

Letterbox to Full: results in image zoomed to fill fullscreen

Wide Zoom: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16x9 screen; this setting will introduce a small aspect ratio change

Down-Conversion

Hardware 10-bit

Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size

Anamorphic: HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio

14x9: image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved, black is added top and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped

Auto AFD: automatically selects the best down-convert mode based on the input video's Active Format Description (AFD) code

Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved

Cross-Conversion

Hardware 10-bit

1080i to 720p

720p to 1080i

720p to 1080PsF

Aspect Ratio Conversion for SD to SD

Letterbox: transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image

H Crop: produces a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame

SD Pillarbox: produces 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: transforms SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image

14x9: anamorphic to 14x9 conversion

Ancillary Data

Supports pass-through of PCM embedded audio      

Supports pass-through of non-PCM audio when source is in time with the selected ref (SDI In or Ext Ref).  Non-PCM audio is not supported during frame sync operation.

All other ANC data is not passed

Reference Input

HDCP

 The FS-Mini does not encode the HDMI output with HDCP encryption. By definition, HD-SDI inputs to the FS-Mini are unencrypted. The HDMI specification requires HDMI monitors to support unencrypted inputs.
