Aspect ratio - AFD source
Select the source of the metadata that will be used by this Kaleido-Solo for aspect ratio control:
Selects AFD (SMPTE 2016) as the source for HD and SD (525, 625) aspect ratio descriptor.
Selects VLI as the source for the SD (525, 625) aspect ratio descriptor.
Selects WSS as the source for the SD (625) aspect ratio descriptor.
The Active Format Descriptor (AFD) flag is used to identify the aspect ratio and protected areas of a video signal.
The AFD flag is implemented differently in HD and SD:
In HD, the AFD flag (SMPTE 2016) is sent as an ancillary packet, normally found on line 11 in the vertical ancillary
space.
In SD, the AFD flag is sent as a Video Line Index (VLI) signal (RP 186), as a Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) signal
(ITU-R BT.1119-2) for 625 only, or as an AFD packet (SMPTE 2016).
Note that it is not possible to specify different sources for SD and HD, e.g.: VLI for SD and AFD for HD.
Time Code - SD Select Mode
Select whether time code extraction from SD video inputs will be automatic or manual.
The vertical interval of the incoming video is scanned and the first detected time code is extracted.
Time code will only be extracted if it appears on a specified line in the vertical interval.
In Manual mode only, the SD Select Line menu item is enabled, allowing the line number for extraction to be
specified.
Time Code - HD Select Type
Select the source of the timecode to be displayed when the input video is HD.
Use ATC VITC time code (time code updated every field).
Use ATC LTC time code (time code updated every frame).
