Video Input/Output Settings
Setting the Video Input/Output Format
Here’s how to specify the input/output format as appropriate for the device that’s connected.
Setting the System Format
On the V-160HD, the input/output format is determined according
to the system format. You set the input/output format to match the
connected equipment.
System format
Input format (*1) Output format (*2)
HDMI IN 1–4 connectors
SDI IN 1–8 connectors
HDMI OUT 1 and 2 connectors
SDI OUT 1–3 connectors
1080p 1080p, 1080i 1080p
1080i 1080p, 1080i 1080i
720p 720p 720p
(*1) You can specify separate individual input formats for the HDMI IN 5–8
connectors, regardless of the system format.
For details, refer to“Setting the Input Format for the HDMI IN 5–8
Connectors”on this page.
(*2) The output format at the HDMI OUT 3 connector is xed at“1080p.”
1. [MENU] button Ó“SYSTEM”Óselect“SYSTEM FORMAT,”
and press the [VALUE] knob.
2. Use the [VALUE] knob to select “1080p,”“1080i,” or “720p,”
and press the [VALUE] knob.
* A change in the setting is not applied until you press the [VALUE]
knob to conrm.
3. Press the [MENU] button to close the menu.
Internal processing
The V-160HD’s internal processing is progressive. Interlaced input
video is automatically converted to a progressive signal.
The video might appear jagged at this time, or the video in a PinP
inset screen or on the multi-view might waver.
This is due to progressive conversion, and is not a malfunction.
About frame rat
The frame rates“59.94 Hz,”“60 Hz,” and “50 Hz”are supported for
output video.
To make this setting, use the [MENU] button Ó“SYSTEM”Ó“FRAME
RATE.”
* You can set the frame rate for USB output from the [MENU] button
Ó“SYSTEM”ÓFRAME RATE“USB OUT.”
Setting the Input Format for the HDMI IN 5–8
Connectors
Using the factory settings, the EDID assignment for the HDMI IN 5–8
connectors is“INTERNAL” (so that EDID values of all formats that can
be input are sent).
To specify an input format of your choice, change the setting of the
EDID information being sent so that it matches the incoming video
signal.
What is EDID?
EDID is data that is transmitted from the V-160HD to the source
device when the V-160HD is connected to a source device. EDID
contains data such as the formats that can be input to the V-160HD
(resolution, color space, color depth) and audio information.
Based on the EDID information that the source device receives, it
will output the most appropriate video format to the V-160HD.

There are two operation modes for switching the video: the“PGM/
PST mode”and the “A/B mode.”
Video on the PGM/A bus
Video on the PST/B bus
PGM/PST mode (factory settings)
The video on the PGM/A bus is always the nal output. The video on
the PST/B bus is preview output video (the video to be output next).
Operating the video fader or the [CUT] or [AUTO] button makes the
nal video output and the preview output video change places.
A/B mode
When you operate the video fader, the video of the bus toward which
the video fader is ipped always becomes the nal output. The video
of the other bus becomes the preview output video (the video that is
output next).
When the [CUT] or [AUTO] button is operated, the video on the
PGM/A bus and the video on the PST/B bus become the nal output
in alternation.
1. Press the [MENU] button Ó“SYSTEM” Óselect “PANEL

Video Operations
Switching the Video Automatically (Auto Switching)
The video of INPUT 1–10 or of preset memories (p. 48) can be switched automatically (the auto switching function).
You can make operation easier by letting the video switch automatically.
About the Operation Mode
Auto switching provides three operation modes that you can select
as appropriate for your situation:“input scan,”“preset memory scan,”
and“BPM sync.”
Switching at a specied interval (Input scan)
This automatically switches the INPUT 1–10 video when a specied
length of time elapses. You can change the duration that each video
is shown, and also switch randomly between videos.
This is convenient when you want to switch between video signals
of multiple cameras, for example when live-streaming a singer-
instrumentalist.
* If there is no video input, this is skipped.
Switching preset memories (Preset memory scan)
This automatically recalls between preset memories 1–30. The video
and audio are switched according to the settings that are saved in
each preset memory.
* Preset memories in which no settings have been saved are skipped.
Switching in synchronization with the BPM (BPM sync)
This automatically switches the video at specied BPM intervals.
This lets you create video transitions that are synchronized with
the music, for example when live-streaming a DJ performance or a
musical performance.
