Notice
1. Only HDMI enabled TV sets with under-scan/over-scan support, the full active video can be accurately
displayed. Some HDMI equipped TV sets may not support this feature. If under-scan/over-scan* is NOT
supported, the top, bottom, left and right border of the active video may be screened, and the S/PDIF
audio may not sound right.
2. Analog stereo audio can merely support 2-channel audio. This version does NOT support 8-channel
analog audio applications.
3. S/PDIF audio input supports the main 2-channel audio input
4. S/PDIF supports only 48kHz audio sample rate. Other than this rate, the input digital audio should be
adjusted to 48kHz in order to get audio signal correctly sent.
The under-scan mode displays the full video frame, which reveals content on the edge that is recorded.
In overs-can, the field monitor zooms in to the area that would be visible on most televisions.
Set the field monitor to under-scan if your video will be viewed on a computer monitor or shown with a
projector and also to look for light stands, microphones, and other unwanted objects on the edges of
your shot. Set it to over-scan to see how the video will look on a television.
