Internal processing
The unit’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 rate
The frame rates“59.94 Hz” and “50 Hz” are supported for input and
output video.
To make this setting, use the [MENU] button0“SYSTEM”0“FRAME
R AT E .”
Setting the Input Format for the INPUT 4 Connector
With the factory settings, the EDID assignment for the INPUT 4
connector is “INTERNAL” (set so that EDID values of all inputtable
formats 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 unit to the source
device when the unit is connected to a source device. EDID
contains data such as the formats that can be input to the unit
(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 unit.

Video Operations
Switching the Video Automatically (Auto Switching)
The video of INPUT 1–4 or of preset memories (p. 38) 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 1–4 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 switches between preset memories 1–8. 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.

Loading a Still Image
You can load a still image, and output it in the same way as video (p. 22) or use it as a source for DSK compositing (p. 29). There are two ways to
load a still image: you can load from a USB ash drive, or you can capture from input video.
You can save up to four still images in the unit.
* When still images are saved in the unit, startup takes longer time according to image size and the number of still images saved.
Loading a Still Image from a USB Flash Drive
Here’s how to load a still image from a USB ash drive into the unit.
