Press the OUT button to select your output settings. In the above
illustration the output is set to Ultra HD 2160p59.94.
Setting your Aspect Ratio
The HD to Ultra HD up conversion in the above example maintains a 16:9 aspect ratio, so no aspect
ratio buttons will be illuminated. However, the 'adj' adjustable aspect ratio function is always
available when converting HD to Ultra HD if you wish to make any manual aspect ratio adjustments.
Your Teranex Processor is now ready to up convert your HD video to a 12Gb/s UltraHD single
link output via OUT A. If you need dual link 6Gb/s output instead, select this mode via the Dual
Link Output menu and use outputs A and B for 6 Gb/s dual link UltraHD connections.
Down Conversion
Down Conversion allows you to convert your video to a lower resolution. For example, you may
need to distribute a PAL SD version of a 1080p25 HD program master to a client. Once again,
high quality de-interlacing, down-sampling and anti-aliasing algorithms will assure outstanding
down conversion results. In this example, 1080p25 video via SDI is converted to 576i50 PAL
with letterbox aspect ratio. Audio is embedded in the input SDI signal.
